D.C. Is Down ONE Dirtbag

"Me so horny!"

David Wu, the now former Oregon representative, has undoubtedly staked out a choice corner and has a large paper cup ready to transition to his new gig as a Portland panhandler.  It's a natural segue.  Seven terms of chiseling America and chasing teenage girls in Washington, D.C. is an excellent way to intern for every liberal's dream job of becoming just one more bum on the streets of the West Coast hobo holding tank of Portland.  If you've ever been there you know what I'm talking about.  Just walking around the place convinces you that there must be mooch marks scratched all over the city limits sign and a "Welcome Bums" invitation on Portland's Internet home page.  (Yes, modern vagrants surf the net!)

In keeping with today's "no fault" re-set on all infractions, legal and moral, Mr. Wu attributes his unwanted sexual advances on the daughter of a political donor to the fact that he was experiencing a period of mental health challenges that began in 2008 as marital issues led to separation from his wife.  You know, the ever popular "my old lady made me do it" defense.  He used this excuse back in 2004 when accused of a similar incident involving a former girlfriend and the granola eating burnouts of the Pacific Northwest gave him another ticket to the big carnival in our nation's capital where sideshow hucksters have a chance to really perfect their act.  In D.C. the welcome sign says, "Welcome carneys and illegitimate spawn of burrowing rodents"  or something like that.   In other words...guys like David Wu.

And THAT is the problem.  As we watch this farcical tap-dance and phony deadline over the country's debt ceiling you can't help but notice how absolutely awful our elected officials are.  The president and the congress are textbook examples of people who's only marketable skills are the ability to dress up and lie their asses off at a moment's notice.  Somehow I don't believe this is what our founding fathers had in mind.  I'm fairly certain that they intended that we be governed by leaders of industry and commerce who would sacrifice a few years of their professional lives to serve their country.  Patriots working hard to do right by the country would return to their life's work after serving.  There would be NO professional political class as we have now.  We are a nation under the thumb of a bunch of second rate lawyers, most of whom never made a decent buck in that profession, who will do anything to get re-elected to their cushy, well paid, perquisite loaded, no heavy lifting jobs.  We're just now starting to pay for it.

As I see it, America has two choices.  Either we continue down the path we're on and become like Greece, a historical footnote.  Or, we tell the majority of these flannel-mouthed bastards to pick-up their final paycheck on their way OUT THE DOOR!

I'm sure David Wu will save them each a nice corner in Portland.  That's the last place a "Will B.S. For Food" sign still works.
