How did YOU spend National Character Counts Week?

Prepare for another irony so delicous that you couldn't possibly make it up (unless maybe your name is Garrison Keillor).

After personally declaring this "National Character Counts Week," George Bush signed a law suspending Habeus Corpus and legalizing torture methods by U.S. officials. Then he went on the campaign trail to support a Virginia Senator who is apparently an unreformed racist and a Califorina Congressman who settled a lawsuit by a former mistress who accused him of beating her and choking her during sex.

Read Dana Milbank's Washington Post column.

So, your week probably wasn't that ironic.
