TOP TEN FEATURES OF 'THE ONE PERCENT DOCTRINE'
Ron Suskind’s new book, The One Percent Doctrine, is just the latest in a long line of works that document the moral bankruptcy, rank incompetence, and Constitutional crimes of the Bush Administration.

But while Mr. Suskind’s title refers to Cheney’s self-described “operating principle” — unilateral and pre-emptive action against even de minimis threats — it is painfully apparent that the “One Percent Doctrine” actually governs a wide variety of Bush practices and policies. So here then, from the home office of the Vice President’s concrete bunker, are the Top Ten features of this Administration’s “One Percent Doctrine”:

10. Percentage of problems actually solved.

9. Percentage of individuals getting 99% of the tax cuts.

8. Percentage of truthful statements made by the Administration.

7. Percentage of brain used by Bush.

6. Percentage of Al-Qaeda “No.2’s” actually captured.

5. Percentage of Rumsfeld statements which are intelligible.

4. Percentage of government power to be exercised by Congress.

3. Percentage of occasions to use diplomacy instead of force.

2. Percentage of information that Cheney allows to reach Oval Office.

1. Percentage of that One Percent that Bush actually reads.

3. Bush Uses 1% of His Brain?
That sounds grossly over estimated. You aren't counting the autonomic functions, like breathing, I hope?
