They designed milk-carton boxes with the faces of missing Democrats, created a WANTED poster with shots of the rebels, established a toll-free number for information on their whereabouts and made a deck of Iraq-inspired playing cards with pictures of the Democrats on them.

Bush's presidency," predicts Mike Deaver, the master imagemaker to Ronald Reagan...
