Thugs & Weasels All Stars Political Playing Cards - Blue Deck
Description
In the five-hole we present Thugs & Weasels, a witty yet sobering survey of evil-doers, bad-boys, and ne'er-do-wells who threaten the world's pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness, ignominiously joined by the wusses and putzes who enable and encourage them.
Saddam Hussein understood well his best chance to re-open the rape-rooms. Gerhard Schroeder wasn't nearly as confident. Mohammed Atta is finding that Paradise isn't all it's cracked up to be. Meanwhile, on the Highway-To-Paradise, Ayman-al-Zawahiri places a call to arms to radical Islam's best and brightest. And did you know that God really, really, really hates Jews? No, it's true! He says so daily via his direct line to Ahmed Yassin, Hassan Nasrallah, and Ramadan Shallah. Boy, those guys sure are special! Across the way at Tent-City, Muammar Qaddafi reveals the real reason he gave up his WMDs. Jimmy Carter proudly accepts his Nobel Peace Prize. Over at the United Nations, Kofi Annan makes his daily address to the General Assembly, while Benon Sevan considers the Oil-For-Food program to be quite the success. Jesse Jackson proves that you don't have to be a terrorist to be a thug, as does John Sweeney and James Hoffa. And as one might expect, no deck of weasels would be complete without the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkey himself.
This deck comes in the "deluxe" size of 2-3/4 x 3-7/8 and is great for most card games. The extra size allows you to enjoy the wonderful artwork and biting satire without needing a microscope.
NEWT'S 'SOLITAIRE' THOUGHTS: Collectors will love adding this deck to their collection! Die hard conservatives will love laughing at the parody.
QUANTITIES ARE LIMITED TO STOCK ON HAND.
This deck of political playing cards is great to not only look back, but great to remember the many political characters as we prepare for the 2008 Presidential Election.

What is the Difference between Bridge and Poker Sized Playing Cards?
Often times the size of a playing card is referred to as a "narrow" or "wide" deck of cards. While the narrow/bridge decks (2-1/4" x 3-1/2") are called "bridge" size, the wide/poker decks (2-1/2" x 3-1/2") are called "poker" sized.
FACT: BOTH sizes are usable for any normal card game as they are really just normal decks that are a different width. So it really doesn't make any difference which size deck you choose.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
- It is said that the bridge sized decks were made for the "ladies" so that it was easier to hold.
- Often times the bridge or narrow sized decks do make it easier to hold more cards in your hand.
- In the U.S. the "poker" sized are considered the "normal" size.
- In pretty much the rest of the world, the "bridge" sized cards are considered the "normal" size.
Again, please remember that you can use the "bridge" or "poker" sized decks for pretty much any card game. The only difference is one is a 1/4" narrower than the other.
Other Sizes...
Some times we offer various other "sizes" of playing cards. They may be "enlarged" or larger than normal decks or they may also be smaller than normal decks.
Another varience on the "size" would be what we call "shaped" cards. The shaped cards have taken various shapes over the years and change in popularity. They do offer a nice change of pace to a normal deck of cards.
