How much irony can you stand? Bush declares "National Character Week"!

Honest: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/10/20061013-17.html

Edit: To be precise, it's "National Character Counts Week" -- IMHO, even more ironic.

5. Character Counts
I pasted Bush's press release into MS-Word, and the character count is 1,840... or 2,185 if you count the spaces.

If you can think of any other way "character counts" could possibly apply to this White House, please let me know.

12. With everyone being so responsible these days...
... accountability is unnecessary.

"America is ushering in a responsibility era; a culture regaining a sense of personal responsibility, where each of us understands we're responsible for the decisions we make in life. (Applause.)"

15. He's always reminded me of Morocco Mole...
... the Peter Lorre-esque critter from the "Secret Squirrel" cartoons, with all that skeevy, seething laughter.
