Oregon Representative David Wu said he would resign once the debt ceiling crisis was resolved. I assume he'll be cleaning out his office during the upcoming Aug. break.
I'll let Dave Weigel describe.
As I walked out of the vote, I ran into Rep. David Wu, D-Ore. This was the end of his political career. He'll resign shortly, having promised to leave the House after the debt crisis was resolved. Like every other member he'd been in the dark about Giffords.
"It's a great business, and this --" he pointed back at the floor -- "is the way to do it. I tell you what. It's a lot better than China." I chuckled at that. "I'm serious!" he said. "I remember; I have firsthand experience."
Wu walked out of the Capitol, hundreds of cameras pointed, blessedly, somewhere else.
