UPDATE, August 4, 2011: David Wu officially resigns seat amid sex allegations

Disgraced DEMOCRAT David Wu said he wasn't going to do it, but he is.

Wu is resigning from the U.S. House of Representatives.

From CNN:

Embattled U.S. Rep. David Wu will resign from the House of Representatives after being accused of making unwanted sexual advances toward a fund-raiser's daughter, he announced Tuesday.

In a statement issued by his office, the seven-term Oregon Democrat said he would step down once the current standoff between Congress and the White House over raising the U.S. debt ceiling is resolved.

"I cannot care for my family the way I wish while serving in Congress and fighting these very serious allegations," Wu said. "The well-being of my children must come before anything else."

Wu is wobbly.

Yesterday, he didn't believe his resignation was necessary. The well-being of his children wasn't an issue when he insisted he would serve out the remainder of his term.

I suspect his colleagues forced Wu to leave, wanting to avoid a repeat of the DEMOCRAT Anthony Weiner sex scandal debacle.

In any event, Wu is out. He joins fellow disgraced DEMOCRAT Weiner in resigning from the House.
