Congressman Resigns Over “Unwanted” Sexual Incident

July 28, 2011 | ISSUE 47•30

Amid accusations he sexually assaulted an 18-year-old, Rep. David Wu (D-OR) announced he would resign as soon as debt-ceiling negotiations were complete. What do you think?

It’s a good thing he’s staying for a little while. A sexual predator is exactly the kind of sane, reasoned voice we need right now.

Portland is a forgiving place. Go buy a few rounds of Pabst, build a couple skate parks, and you should be fine.
