Not so hot

By Heraclitus

I don't have a lot to add to the title or first paragraph of this article by Dana Milbank. Apparently, this is "National Character Counts Week," but it is also, of course, election season. So who is our wonderful president out there campaigning for?

So it has come to this: Nineteen days before the midterm elections, President Bush flew here [La Plume, PA] to champion the reelection of a congressman who last year settled a $5.5 million lawsuit alleging that he beat his mistress during a five-year affair.

That's some damned fine character those Republicans have.
