Newspapers, GOP call for congressman to resign

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."

Go get 'em Tiger!
 
Ok, in the thread about whether we want our legislators to run out of the state, I talked about just making it a swap.

Let me rephrase that to make sure Tony the Tiger isn't part of the swap.
 
Would be curious to know what these other 'unusual revelations' about his mental health are. Dressing up as a tiger is definitely grounds for getting mocked but resigning?

Yeah, they do seem to imply it's one amongst other issues that involve his mental health, or lack thereof, but it's Yahoo News for cripe sakes! If it looks good on the home page, well heck we'll run with it.

The giggle factor was too good to pass up. :)
 
Oooohhhhh,

The wonderful thing about Tiggers,
Is tiggers are wonderful things!
Their heads are made out of rubber....

(But doesn't that apply to all democrats?)
