"Difficult to keep up..."

As a follow-up on negative campaigning, I'd be hard-pressed to find anything more incisive than this, from another of my heroes, truth-speaking journalist Molly Ivins¹:

I realize it is difficult to keep up with the degree of Republican sleaze around these days, but I did like ["p]resident["] Bush's celebration of National Character Counts Week. He went to Pennsylvania to support Rep[resentative] Don Sherwood, who is being sued for repeatedly beating his mistress.

Maybe "[n]ext week should be National Body Counts Week"²?

And the week after, if the Busheviks retain control of Congress, National Vote Recount Week?
