The Washington Post ran a fun piece this morning written by Dana Milbank, entitled “During National Character Counts Week, Bush Stumps for Philanderer.” Congressman Sherwood has settled a $5 million lawsuit brought against him by his mistress of five years for allegedly beating her. And surprise, surprise, the case has come up during Sherwood’s campaign to stay in the House. Sherwood would be well-advised to follow the efforts of Senator George Allen (who is running for his life in Virginia) to convince the voters that this election is about issues and not about character – since neither of them have any.
