Bush cards big hit
Bush cards big hit
New York
June 5, 2004 - 12:43PM


For the past week, the Jacobs' Bleecker Street outlet has drawn crowds of gawkers to look at huge blowups of the playing cards hanging in the window.

Riffing on the Saddam playing cards that were sold in the runup to and early days of US-led invasion of Iraq, the cards depict Bush as the ace of spades, with Vice President Dick Cheney, Attorney General John Ashcroft and Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld rounding out the four aces.

Cheney's ace of clubs lists his 2000 Halliburton income ($36 million) and the figure 13,500 - the number of pages of energy-related documents he has withheld from the US Congress.
National security adviser Condoleezza Rice is the queen of hearts.


The jokers in the deck are both Bush - one of the president missing an attempt to hit a T-ball, another of him decked out in a flight suit, when he declared an end to major combat in Iraq a year ago.

The Greenwich Village store display also includes bumper stickers reading ''Nobody died when Clinton lied'' and ''GOP - Greed, Oil and Plunder,'' assorted anti-Bush buttons and even toilet paper featuring the president's image.

4. What goes around comes around...
Bush and Cheney took great pleasure in openly gloating about Clinton lie and played it to the max..

I wonder if Bush will take the heat as well as the last duly elected president did?

The original!!!

I even helped the guy who created the cards that the article is talking about. I gave him advice on how to get them done and how to market them!

Just a shameless plug:-)

9. This is good. I used to get these cards and throw the packs into the
driveways around my extremely RW town. I figured they would at least be curious enough to look.
