Thu Sep 25,10:39 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian newspaper has trumped the U.S. government with playing cards featuring top American figures -- a parody of decks issued to U.S. troops during the Iraq (news - web sites) war depicting the most-wanted figures in Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s ruling elite.

President Bush (news - web sites) is the jack of hearts in the new pack, which went on sale ahead of a meeting this week between Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites).

In the decks, which are selling out in Moscow, Bush's father, former President George Bush, is the ace of hearts, while Federal Reserve (news - web sites) Chairman Alan Greenspan (news - web sites) is the ace of spades.
