"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002

In politics, as in poker, you've got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.That could explain why the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Ark., has decided not to stock a new set of satirical playing cards that portray Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as a less-than- flattering ace of spades.The library's gift shop has stocked California artist Peter Green's "Politicards" for several years now. The 2004 edition still is a brisk seller, store manager Connie Fails reports.But Fails balked at the way Sen. Clinton was portrayed in the 2008 edition - with thick thighs, a riding crop, stack of wire coat hangers and a salty quotation from the 1981 movie Mommie Dearest.The cards were altered slightly to ease her concerns, but she later decided not to stock the cards for reasons related to the library's charitable tax status."We do have a sense of humor here," Fails told the Rocky Mountain News on Monday.But she said the store would not sell the 2008 cards for the same reason the library won't stock any of the "Hillary for President" items that visitors constantly request."Because we're a 501(c), we're not supposed to be political," Fails said.Politicards date back to the 1970s, when Green first produced a deck of politically themed playing cards that lampooned then-President Richard Nixon and others.This year's deck features Hollywood themes, with Clinton as the ace of spades, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani - sketched in drag - as the ace of hearts and other candidates and politically minded celebrities filling out the deck.
