President Ten Per Cent

By Cernig

Asif Ali Zardari has swept to a comfortable victory in Pakistan's presidential election, securing 480 out of 702 electoral college votes. Pakistan now has a president who has spent more years in jail on murder and corruption charges than it has had years of democracy in his lifetime. He became known as Mr. Ten Per Cent while his wife, Benazir Bhutto was alive due to unsubstantiated allegations that he had siphoned state funds and taken multi-million dollar kickbacks. Recently, a British newspaper revealed details of a medical report used as evidence in Mr Zardari's legal cases in England. It listed a variety of psychiatric illnesses, including dementia, major depressive disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Pakistan's election of a new president Saturday was a positive sign for the civilian government of the U.S. ally in the fight against terrorism.

... "I'm looking forward to working with him," Rice told reporters as he flew from Tunisia to Algeria during a trop to North Africa.

Mad, corrupt and with no previous executive experience. Just perfect for Republicans.
