Cut-throat World of Bridge Causes International Political Uproar- AGAIN

The game of bridge has long been known as a game of cold-blooded deceit, of underhandedness and -- dare I say it -- skulduggery. This hard-core game of chance is only played by those skilled and heartless enough to continually deceive others.

It comes as no surprise, then, after the Great Trump of the 1824 games, that the Bridge World Championship would be rocked once again, finding itself at the center of international controversy.

"A team of women who represented the United States at the world bridge championships in Shanghai last month is facing sanctions, including a yearlong ban from competition, for a spur-of-the-moment protest.

"At issue is a crudely lettered sign, scribbled on the back of a menu, that was held up at an awards dinner and read, “We did not vote for Bush.”

"By e-mail, angry bridge players have accused the women of “treason” and “sedition.” "

Let's just watch the language there, ladies.
