Rumsfeld Is Ace of Spades in French Deck of Cards
"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is the Ace of Spades and al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) a Joker in a provocative pack of French playing cards depicting 'the 52 most dangerous American officials.'"

5. Leftist, yes. Radical? Hardly

The Réseau Voltaire includes elected French leftists and a host of others--Greens, Socialists, Communists, and reps from smaller left-wing parties and progressive organizations.

Entirely suitable for (French) family audiences. ;-)

2. I found it kind of interesting...
...that in the French deck of cards, Rumsfeld is the Ace of Spades, while in the Russian deck mentioned here yesterday, Greenspan was the Ace of Spaces.

Nobody felt that Bush was important enough to be an Ace.
