OK, the original “Iraq’s most wanted” playing cards showed a flash of cleverness, the “Missing Texas Democrats” cards were a bit strained but worth a chuckle, but this is just fucking stupid:

What goes ha, ha, ha, clunk?
A guy laughing his head off.
What just goes clunk?
A right-wing joke.

well, I thought the Texas one was a hoot, personally, but I absolutely agree this one reeks.
Jimmy Carter?? sheesh.
And those motherfuckers spam me CONSTANTLY. I hate them so much more than I would ordinarily, which I have to say is a lot.

The Iraqi deck of cards stained my sense of good humor.
How many parts of Wag the Dog are they going to copy?

This part botherd me the most.
Each suite of the Deck of Weasels reveals America’s enemies. The Spades are the most treacherous of the world’s foreign leaders. The Diamonds are the most backstabbing U.S. leaders. The (bleeding) Hearts, of course, consist of Hollywood’s woefully ill-informed would-be geopolitical “experts.” And the Clubs include the worst of the biased media and self-appointed pundits.
Yes if you opposed the war you are an enemy of America.
But where are the Dixie Chicks?
They didn’t get mentioned at all.
I’m right there with ya. If I get one more friggin’ spam about the Most Wanted deck of car…
“Bing, you’ve got mail.”
ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!
I thought the berets were a particularily nice touch. And by nice touch I mean a touch of crap.

Well, conservatives usually don’t have a working sense of humor anyway. Go read Mallard Filmore for an example.
Hah! If you want crappy conservative humor, even Mallard Fillmore loses to CNSNews’s cartoon section.
Particularily Barry Shelton. I am fascinated by the way he can week after week be crap in every possible meaning of crap.
Not to forget Chuck Asay. That man’s cartoons don’t contain mere bad jokes. They’re anti-jokes.
Okay, they insulted George Clooney. ‘Dem’s fightin’ words!

No, no, Dems don’t fight, that’s the point .
The Iraqi official playing cards just were.
The Texas politician playing cards I liked, in a farcical, Pythonist sense. (“State Representative Chombey*! The Sixth of Clubs! Let’s get him!”)
The Newsmax cards (isn’t Newsmax run, in some way, by John LeBoutiller?) are just dumb.
*- Any comparison between State Representative Chombey and a real member of the Texas State Legislature is completely unintentional.
These cards are the newest trend in law enforcement.
I liked the novelty of the Iraqi most wanted cards, the Texas card were the first sign it wasn’t a one of. Now this. And the Deck of Deadbeats is just silly.
Several hundred volunteer posse members and Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies fanned out across the Valley Saturday to round up child-support dodgers.
[…]
The sheriff also unveiled the “Deck of Deadbeats” on Saturday. Reminiscent of the “most wanted” playing cards distributed to coalition forces in Iraq, the deck features the names and faces of 52 parents who owe high-volume amounts.
The cards are online at www.mcso.org .
“Several hundred volunteer posse members”? Is living in America really like living in a cowboy movie?
I thought a right wing joke didn’t go clunk but bigot… good examples of this are Jesse Helms and Stantorum.
are Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity included there?
I love the fact that Hans Blix got a card because… Well… He didn’t give the Pres something usable. Damn, that certainly makes him an enemy…
