SALEM, Ore. – A photo of Rep. David Wu wearing a tiger costume and other unusual revelations about his mental health are increasing pressure on the seven-term Oregon Democrat to step down.
But the lawmaker says he's not quitting even as an editorial in one of the state's largest newspapers and the state Republican chairman called for his resignation.
Wu said this week that it was "unprofessional and inappropriate" to send pictures of himself wearing a tiger costume to staff members while he was in the middle of a heated campaign last year. He also acknowledged taking two tablets of a pain killer that were given to him by an unnamed campaign donor.
"This was the only time that this has ever happened," the congressman said in a statement of the pain killer episode. "I recognize that my action showed poor judgment at the time, and I sincerely regret having put my staff in a difficult position."

1. LOL! A tiger costume! And a couple of pain killers!?

Why do Dems HAVE TO resign over silly pictures, but Repukers only HAVE TO resign when they get caught committing war crimes or violating some part of the US Constitution or fucking over the citizenry with malicious intent? And some of those Repuke HAVE TOs are still pending. :eyes:

3. Repukes only seem to leave office early once the bus to prison

comes to pick them up, or they die. No other reason seems to do it. No matter the dead girls, live boys, wide stances, or massive corruption, they'll tough it out.

I'm pretty sure they won't let you serve from prison, or they'd do that too.

4. David Vitter can put on diapers

and hire prostitutes, but don't let Cong. Wu dress up like a tiger. Guess the GOP likes babies and hates furries; I can't keep up, anymore.
