Russian newspaper plays U.S. card game
Wed Sep 24, 1:03 PM ET


MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian newspaper has trumped the U.S. government with playing cards featuring top American figures -- a parody of decks depicting most-wanted Iraqis that were issued to U.S. troops during the war in Iraq (news - web sites).



U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) is the jack of hearts in the new pack, which went on sale ahead of a meeting this week between Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites).


In the packs that are selling out in Moscow, Bush's father, former U.S. President George Bush, is the ace of hearts, while Federal Reserve (news - web sites) Chairman Alan Greenspan (news - web sites) is the ace of spades.

:hippie:

[LiberalVoice]

4. probably cuz the packs ive seen...

so far already have him as the joker. Brings some freshness to the wonderful word of card playing.

11. hippiechick, you took the words out of my brain....

that is precisely what I was going to write....remember the evil joker in Batman comics? That's the kind of "joker" he is. The whole idea of a deck of cards was so inane that now this deck is actually funny.

18. No jokers in the set.

Usual Russian sets of cards contain only 36 cards (and the story mentions it's one of these) -- 6's and up, of 4 type.

5. I thought for sure they'd make him the Jack of Off

Then again, I don't play cards regularly, so what do I know?

6. but * has no heart

He should be a club, because he is as dumb as a stick.

Or a diamond, because it is all about the benjamins.

Or a spade for all the graves he has caused to be dug.

But no way should he be a heart.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

7. Jack of Hearts because of...

...GW and Victor Ashe! :loveya:

8. French version

Print a deck out of those, and if you happen to be invited to a round of bridge... bring'em on!

9. UPDATE:It's misspelled in the article should be JACK OFF arts

Becasue he's a WANKER

10. Bu$h Sr. - Ace of Hearts

Now there's a good one. One of the most heartless humans on earth, after his wife and dimson. LOL

And who may be the ace of clubs and diamonds?

12. Here's a pic

15. LOL!!! Russian translation...

The Russian translates (roughly) as:

George Bush (Jr.?) "Bushy" "Dubya"
President of the USA from 2001,
Convinced that God has a plan for him"


I think that "ml" is an abbreviation for "mladshe", or "Junior", but I'm not positive...

17. LOL

Well they have him nailed. I also like the Laura Bush one "She made her husband stop drinking". That must make these macho neanthals nuts. lol

[0007]

13. junior is certainly a jack alright

A government stamped boni-fide "jack off"

[Spider Jerusalem]

16. Georgie ought to be the deuce of clubs.

It would be more fitting. Lowest card in the deck, and he's utterly worthless.
