Subject: 80'sRocked Gift Idea!

Murray joins anti-war celebs in 'Deck of Weasels'

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF AND NEWS SERVICES

Riffing on the U.S. military's use of playing cards printed with photos of wanted Iraqi leaders, a conservative publisher has come out with a "Deck of Weasels."
 
The 52 cards feature celebrities and politicians who questioned the Iraq war or President Bush. Some examples: Barbra Streisand as the Queen of Hearts and Kofi Annan as the Jack of Spades. Washington's own Sen. Patty Murray is the Eight of Diamonds.

Many are favorite targets of the political right, such as Martin Sheen, Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon.

Walter Cronkite (Five of Clubs) made the deck with the quote, "I haven't changed my mind one iota. We should not be in Iraq without United Nations support."

The cards cost $14.95 plus shipping and more than 35,000 decks have been sold in just a few weeks. They are the brainchild of Christopher Ruddy, and can be found at his Web site, www.newsmax.com

Race, I feel so touched you remembered my bday is coming up.(in several months that is  ;D)

I saw these cards a while back on the TV news and forgot all about them.  They are a funny idea.  I think on Newsmax.com you can read what each of the cards have printed on them about each of these celebrities, err I mean "foreign policy experts"( ::)).

Thanks Race. ;)
