I figured it out... he's right with the 100% figure. It just takes the creative numerology approach used to decode the secret conspiracy behind September 11th.
If you take the total volume of claims (approximately 1.7 million claims according to this article), then subract all the claims outside 50 miles from the coast, then subrtact all the people who had adequate flood protection, take that number and subtract all the people who didn't experience a total "slab" loss, subtract from that all the people insured by companies other than State Farm, multiply that by 666 to represent the actual evil of State Farm, then divide it by 4 (obviously, for B-U-S-H) you'll end up with a 100% figure. Yeah, you may also have to divide it again by the square root of negative pi - don't forget to cary the one.
