Ron Suskind Wins a Toto Award!

Ron Suskind wins a Toto Award! Here's the summary by Michiko Kakutani of Suskind's new book The One Percent Doctrine:

This book augments the portrait of Mr. Bush as an incurious and curiously uninformed executive that Mr. Suskind earlier set out in "The Price of Loyalty" and in a series of magazine articles on the president and key aides. In "The One Percent Doctrine," he writes that Mr. Cheney's nickname inside the C.I.A. was Edgar (as in Edgar Bergen), casting Mr. Bush in the puppet role of Charlie McCarthy, and cites one instance after another in which the president was not fully briefed (or had failed to read the basic paperwork) about a crucial situation.

Democrats.com began awarding our highly-coveted "Toto Award" in March 2001 to honor "those brave journalists who point out the obvious truth: that George W. Bush is not the President, but just an illusion created by the real powers who are hiding behind the curtain."
