Useful Idiots All Stars Political Playing Cards - Red Deck
Description
Batting third in the Bush League All Stars lineup is Useful Idiots, a deck dutifully named after Joseph Stalin's time-honored and spot-on description of the left-wing media.
Leading off this deck would be the Dynamic-Duo of the White House press corps, the still-breathing Helen Thomas, and her sidekick, the spunky Boy-Wonder, Terry Moran. For a purely objective roundup of the days headlines, we present? Live from New York! Huey, Dewey, and Louie. And whatever you do, do not tell Eric Alterman that the media has a liberal bias. Over at PBS, Bill Moyers demonstrates one of liberalism's long-standing traditions -- having one's cake and eating it, too. We would be remiss in leaving the Moyers' kin without saying hello to Little Bill. Cute little bugger, isn't he? Meanwhile at CBS, Andy Rooney is finally talking sense, and dapper Ed Bradley is fine-tuning next week's wardrobe. Elsewhere within Useful Idiots, Robert Scheer longs for the good-old-days, Thomas Friedman makes a decision ? albeit the wrong one, David Brock gets giddy, James Carville analyzes election results, and Peter Arnett remains on the fast-track to obscurity.
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.
