His suit is lame. I refuse to vote for someone with a shitty fursuit.

tongueI think that these sex scandals are becoming more common by the minute.Or they are just getting reported more often than usual.All I know is that no one is surprised anymore when it happens.

Isn't this the guy that dressed up in a Tigger costume? Oh yes, I see it is.

Yeah, the man has some fairly serious mental problems. He is apparently immensely erratic, to the point where his own staffers have begged him to enter a hospital for psychiatric treatment. According to him he has been seeking, "professional medical care" but his behavior does not seem to be improving.

I was hoping he would step down, but not running for re-election is satisfactory I suppose.

"E-mails which look as if they were written by children but were in fact by adults" covers an awful lot of the e-mails by members of the public I get to see at work.

Also, there is an argument for saying that 14 years is quite long enough for anyone to be a member of any legislative assembly. If you're elected to do something and you can't manage it in 14 years, you probably never will.

Poor David Wu. His sex scandal, his one shot at national fame/infamy, was overshadowed by our government plunging over a cliff.

After Chris Lee and Anthony Weiner, it's not like sex scandals have to actually involve sex anymore. American public outrage jumped the shark when those two were forced to resign over next to nothing but hypocritical moral concerns.

^ The man has some serious mental health problems. His own staff pleaded him to check into a hospital.

I don't think this is just about the sex scandal.

A sex scandal with a consenting adult is one thing, but pressuring a minor into sex is another.

Call me a Moral Guardian if you like, but I don't think rapists or attempted rapists should be in politics.

What are the details of what he is alleged to have done?

Only thing I can see is that it was an incident with no witnesses, so it would be one of those things where an accusation is easy, a defense is another matter.

Not pleasant either way.
