crazy town

Oregon Democrat David Wu recently won a seventh term to Congress, but several former staffers think he'd be better off in a psychiatric hospital instead of on the House floor. That's not an exaggeration, as the Oregonian explains. Staffers were so worried about his increasingly erratic behavior during the campaign—bizarre speeches, emails, and actions—they began making discreet inquiries about the availability of hospital beds. Staffers then staged an intervention with Wu, bringing along his psychiatrist, but he rebuffed them and left for a movie.
