Wu clarifies resignation timetable
Congressman David Wu's office has released its clearest explanation so far regarding the timeline for the lawmaker's planned departure from the U.S. House of Representatives. Wu spokesman Erik Dorey told reporters for The Washington Post this morning that Wu won't leave office until the federal government's debt is paid off.
In the midst of allegations of unwanted and aggressive sexual contact against an 18-year-old daughter of a friend and campaign donor, Wu announced July 26 he would step down. The seven-term representative of Oregon's 1st Congressional District denies breaking any laws and has maintained that the still-unexplained encounter was consensual.
"He pledged to stay through the crisis and the crisis isn't over until the debt has been retired," Dorey said.

Obviously, Neil hasn't found a suitable replacement.

And since there's always a "crisis" of one sort or another...

Whew, I though he was going to stall by claiming that with the distruction of Romulus and Vulcan in the new Star Trek movie he would need to stay until the Klingons, Romulans and Vulcans had the chance to Powow.

Oh come on, there's no comparison. Neil is the perverted puppetmaster. He is an 18th level sex wizard, a lecherous 20th century Thomas Cromwell, slimy with charisma.
David Wu is poor stumbling buffoon with a honest to god mental illness. He, as they say in in the Marine Corps, could screw up a wet dream. He doesn't live in the same solar system as charisma. I met him once at an OTLA thing in ashland and all I could think was man there must be a machine behind him cause he has the personality of a tree sloth.
Whatever you want to say about pervy neil, he was an operator. Wu ain't even a nurse.

I wonder if he's smart enough to commandeer the $300k in his campaign coffers? What are they going to do, indict him? Not likely in this town.
