Bush Cards – The Second Term
Playing cards slanted to the right, issued to mark George W. Bush’s second term of office.
President George W. Bush and 51 of his political allies and associates are featured in this pack. Each portrait photo carries text beneath, highlighting some of the not-so-clever remarks uttered by each character. The cards are parallelogram-shaped or, as it states on the box, “….. slanted to the right!!”. The unusual shape actually makes the cards quite easy to hold. Bush also appears on the reverse, within a border of rockets (or bombs?) and oil rigs. See the box►
Above: Bush Cards – The Second Term published by No Props, Inc., New York, U.S.A., 2005. 52 cards + 2 Jokers in tuck box. Printed in India.
