“There are Klingons in the White House. But unlike the real Klingons of Star Trek, these Klingons have never fought a battle of their own. Don’t let faux Klingons send real Americans to war. It’s wrong.”

- Rep. David Wu, Oregon, speaking before Congress

“What’s been said of me is that I’ve always had the lowest profile in the Oregon delegation. You know what? This is not the way that I would have chosen to raise my profile.”

- Rep. David Wu to The Oregonian

I admit it: I’m a sucker for a smart, attractive woman with a Star Trek uniform and an attitude.
