SEX SCANDAL UPDATE: Oregon Democratic Rep. David Wu Hears Calls For Resignation. “Pressure on Democratic Rep. David Wu to resign intensified Saturday as leaders in his own party began confronting the embattled Oregon lawmaker over allegations that he had an unwanted sexual encounter last Thanksgiving with a young California woman.”

Meanwhile, Ann Althouse is skeptical of the charge. Are the Dems just trying to get him out of the way so they can run somebody stronger?

Plus this: “Note that the woman who has brought this chaos into Wu’s career is shielded by the newspaper’s policy not to ‘use the names of victims of sexual assault without their permission.’ That’s convenient. I think if you are going to have a policy like that, you should not report at all unless the alleged victim has reported a crime to the police. It’s not fair.”
