What I found amusing, however, comes at the end of the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/26/AR2005112600745_pf.html">article</a>...<br /><p></p> <blockquote> <p>Is President Bush an easy mark? It seems many poker players would gladly welcome him to join a game at their table<span class="down" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);"></span></p> <p>BetCRIS.com, an online sports wagering firm, has received 14,000 answers to its unscientific survey asking visitors to its poker Web site to answer the question, "Which world leader would you play poker against?" Bush was first, the choice of 27 percent of those voting. Bush supporters may note that this is another case of the president being misunderestimated.</p> <p>In a news release, Mickey Richardson, chief executive of BetCRIS.com, speculated, "<span style="font-weight: bold;">My guess is people want to play against Bush because he looks like someone that's easy to bluff</span>."</p> <p>For his part, Richardson said he'd be afraid to play against Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, who was running second: "If he catches you putting a move on him, you're done for."</p> </blockquote> <p></p> (Emphasis added by yours truly.) Now, I realize most people picked Bush because he is the most visible world leader, and, in fact, 27% is probably awfully low--which may be indicative of the fact that people would <span style="font-style: italic;">fear</span> playing poker with him. But still...<br /><br />A word of warning to all of those poker players out there: G. W. Bush already out bluffed the entire Democratic party and, indeed, the world when he misled all of us into an illegal war for oil. The entire Senate was tricked by the chimp into believing that Hussen had WMD's.<br /><br />I'm just sayin'. <span style="font-style: italic;">(Hint: Pick Chirac... he sucks at everything.) </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><blockquote></blockquote><br /><span class="" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13625413-113319815272997254?l=vrwc-on-crack.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>DShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14176564479766997066noreply@blogger.com0
