You're a smooth one, David Wu.

[julius]

Wu isn't running for re-election.

So, for the Dem lackeys in this thread who have pooh-poohed this alleged sexual assault and were defending Wu, apparently it was and is a big deal. The Dems are also calling for an ethics investigation. I guess it will be a week or two before Wu resigns.

Which "Dem Lackeys" in this thread have pooh-poohed it? ONE person made a direct reference to it, and the others didn't say anything about it nor were defending him.

You always seem to make a lupus out of everything, don't you? Doesn't that get tiring?

Wu seems like a total nut and possible criminal to me. It makes me sick thinking he may get to retire and suck up more public money.

 

[MrJayremmie]

GTFO Wu.

The writer says,

This is a strange story, because there is no report to the police... So, she's above the age of consent. Since when do breathless messages on answering machines get reported in the newspaper? The newspaper—The Oregonian—continues: "The alleged incident raises new questions about Wu's behavior during the 1st District congressman's re-election campaign last year..." At this point, we hear about "erratic" behavior that doesn't ostensibly involve sex. What exactly are the "new questions"? This is a cheap and ridiculous article in my view...I think if you are going to have a policy like that, you should not report at all unless the alleged victim has reported a crime to the police.

Every Blazer fan is familiar with the Oregonian's tabloid style, repeating over and over its rumors about our players. After the article, ET1492 comments:

This trash is beneath The Oregonian. I expect stories like this from cheap "bloggers" but not from journalists...I would have liked to sit in on the meetings when the editors discussed running this story. I'm sure the publisher was in on it, and maybe a lawyer or two on speakerphone. I used to work in a newsroom and I don't think my paper would have printed this story.

A couple of the articles say that a few months ago, he had a reaction to his psychiatric drug. Behavior modification drugs can make you worse, not better.

The guy is a creep plain and simple.

What a guilty bastard, I would never retire if I were innocent. No wonder the Dems are investigating this weirdo.

Excellent speech.

One of the best I've seen. He makes a valid criticism, is spot on with his accusations, and relates it to something common that everyone understands.

Short, sweet, and powerful.

There's a big difference between having your career destroyed by a political smear job of your reputation and being guilty of some as yet unnamed sexual advance. Few here seem to understand how politics are played.

 

[huevonkiller]

Or he could be guilty as fuck. Let them actually investigate first.

 

[Denny Crane]

He just resigned.

Only one day? There must be some nasty stuff to be found in an ethics investigation.

It's a smear job!!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

He had to resign.

Kerry spokesman stripped of Silver Star

John F. Kerry almost became president running on the basis of his alleged heroism in Vietnam. Thanks to the efforts of a group of truth-tellers, the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, the serious holes in the fantasy narrative propounded by the Kerry campaign came to the attention of enough Americans that John Kerry was not the first faux-Irish President of the United States.

One of Kerry's enablers in propounding his imaginary heroism was a man named Wade Sanders, who himself held a Silver Star, and who introduced Kerry to the Democratic Convention. Scott Swett, who was central to the unraveling of the Kerry storyline, tells us that the Kerry enabler has been exposed for what he is. His Winter Soldier site has the details:

John Kerry was introduced at the 2004 Democratic National Convention by Wade Sanders, a retired Navy Captain and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy who served as a Swift Boat officer in Vietnam. Like Kerry, Sanders was the recipient of a Silver Star for gallantry in action. During the 2004 campaign, Sanders functioned as Kerry lead attack dog against the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, repeatedly denouncing the veterans on the air as liars and comparing them to Nazi propagandists.

Wade Sanders is now in Federal prison, serving a 37-month sentence for possessing child pornography. Now the Navy Times reports that Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus has revoked Sanders' Silver Star. The highly unusual decision appears unrelated to Sanders' felony conviction. A Navy spokesman cited "subsequently determined facts and evidence surrounding both the incident for which the award was made and the processing of the award itself." John Kerry has to be hoping this doesn't become a trend.

As one might imagine, the media has ignored this story. Even the Navy Times declined to post its own article online.
