- <p>By J.D. Reed

- <p> For the sake of a little p.r., the National Education
- Association recently sent baseball-style trading cards to members
- of Congress -- pix of the pols with stats on the back. The
- limited-edition sets have amused some Hill folks, particularly
- cards for such ex-players . . . errr, Congressmen as Jim Wright.
- But Republican Jim Bunning of Kentucky balks at the idea. The
- former big-league pitcher gripes that the cards were done without
- permission. Says he: "They won't be trading them in my office." So
- go hit the showers.
