CONGRESSMAN DAVID WU IS A FURRY!



there's something the mainstream press completely missed while covering the resignation of congressman david wu.
let's see if you can spot it-

DAVID WU; born April 8, 1955)
is the U.S. Representative for Oregon's 1st congressional district. Democratic.
The district includes most of Portland west of the Williamette River, as well as all of Yamhill, Columbia, Clatsop, and Washington Counties.

On July 22, 2011, The Oregonian reported that a teenager accused Wu of an aggressive, unwanted sexual encounter. The teenager is the daughter of a longtime friend and campaign donor. Wu admitted the encounter, but said it was consensual. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called for an ethics investigation into the allegations.
Wu initially indicated that he would not resign, but would also not seek reelection in 2012.
Several days later, however, Wu announced he would resign following resolution of the 2011 US debt ceiling crisis.

Wu married Michelle Maxine Wu in 1996 and they have two children. In December 2009, he filed for separation from his wife, citing irreconcilable differences.



Three weeks prior to the 2004 elections, The Oregonian published an article reporting that Wu had been accused of sexually assaulting an ex-girlfriend while attending Stanford.
Stanford made Wu attend counseling, and he was disciplined by the university in 1976.
Criminal charges were never filed, but the story prompted Wu to hold a press conference apologizing for "inexcusable behavior".
In February 2011, Willamette Week and later The Oregonian reported that in the runup to the November 2010 election, Wu began behaving erratically and that staffers "demanded he enter a hospital for psychiatric treatment."
The erratic behavior that triggered the staff's departure was reported to be no single incident but rather a pattern of behavior that included Wu's emailing his staff photos of himself in a TIGER SUIT.

On Saturday, Oct. 30, At 1:03 am PST, an email from Wu’s Congressional BlackBerry landed in the inbox of a female staffer.

There was no message attached to the email, only a single image. That photo, copied above, showed Wu in a plush tiger suit with orange- and black-striped mittens over his hands, a hood with pointy ears pulled over his head and a white circle split by a zipper stretched over his stomach. A seemingly red-faced Wu is sitting on a bench in what appears to be a bedroom, with his hands held in the air.

there it is! WU IS A FURRY!
