Bush cards sell fast

A newly minted deck of cards of United States President George W. Bush and members of his team akin to the Saddam Hussein cards hawked during the Iraq war is selling at a brisk pace in New York.

Locals are snapping up the cards at shops in Greenwich Village, retailing for up to US$11 ($18).

The cards depict Bush as the ace of spades, with Vice-President Dick Cheney, Attorney-General John Ashcroft and Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld rounding out the four aces. National security adviser Condoleezza Rice is the queen of hearts.
