Halloween Political Costume Thread: What should the pols go as?
What costume should various politicians wear for Halloween tomorrow?
If you are the current First Lady of the United States, and your favorite designers also make clothes for drag queens, then every day is Halloween for you.
But, for other people, who aren’t “fashion icons” (or Big, Little, or Medium Edies Bouvier who think everything made of thread is “a costume”), then Halloween is a rare opportunity to wear something absurd in public..that gives true insights into their real selves.
Let’s make a list of good costume ideas to help all the politicians we regularly talk about around here and send it to their offices…they won’t see them until Monday, but that doesn’t matter. It’s the thought that counts…and they can save money by shopping for their costumes for next year in all the post-holiday sales.
In this Depression, every nickel counts, especially when they’re provided by taxpayers.
Try to stay away from the obvious costumes, like saying Nancy Pelosi should be the clown she truly is every day, or that any woman should be a witch, because we never allow that around here.
Yes, Mrs. Utopia should wear something ugly, but once again, she does that every day.
Harry Reid and Fancy Nancy should actually go as “Dumb and Dumber” in perpetuity, though from day to day their respective roles do change. Pelosi’s definitely “Dumber” at the moment, due to her insistence on locking the public out of her Capitol presser this week.
Bill Richardson should go as an Arby’s Assistant Manager gobbling curly fries, which is not only his destiny, but his dream job.
John Edwards is, essentially, The Breck Girl.
Governor Charlie Crist could save a lot of money by just taking his old “Charlotte” drag out of the closet, along with his damn self, and take another trip to the Green Iguana in Tampa this Halloween…where all his old drinking buddies no doubt miss his orange, leathery mug.
Claire McCaskill could be a giant bug, so she could “bug” her kids as a bug for “bugging her” so much. And then she can tweet on Twitter all about how clever she is. “My kids bugged me to be clever and dress up like a giant bug, because I say everyone bugs me to do things and then I do them. I was going to dress up as Tina Fey, in which case I was going to just throw up all over myself all night and hate Mexicans with an unbridled passion, because Tina Fey’s such a racist, from what I hear, but that was too complicated for me. Besides, I already kind of look like a big bug anyway, with my eyes and all, so this was an easy costume for me. Tweet, tweet!”.
It would be fun to assemble a little resource for Halloween costumes for these public figures so that, come next Halloween, or even Mardi Gras, they can be all set.

LOL, whatever they do, don’t go as these guys!

Corzine could go as an azzhole which he is.
obama as the grimm reaper
Michelle as fanny fat azz.
They should try, oh, say, looking like normal people? yes, I know, it would cause mass hysteria on the Hill if they did that. Nothing frightens them like the unwashed masses, eh Harry “You people stink” Reid?
Barney Frank should go as the Keeper of the Gate at Emerald City…except he can be the keeper of the Door at the House Committee on Health Care Reform (keeping out all those nasty Weepublwicans).
Nancy Pelosi should go as Michael Jackson…she has the ‘look’ just needs a sequined gloved; fedora and black penny loafers (but being as rich as she is, instead of pennies in the shoes, she should be rocking Kruggerands).
The Won…well he could don his flowing white robes (is that raaaacist???) and demote himself to G-D…OR he rock a White Sox (dang…is that raaaacist???) shirt, carry a hot dog and a beer and ‘pretend’ he is an American.
Why is MQ-C so extra contrary??? (Or bitchy as the case maybe???) Well…trying to make ends meet my attempts at finding ‘second’ (needed) job employment are failing. Anyone else trying for parttime employemnt (or seasonal hiring?) it doesn’t look promising. Halloween candy (we are recycling costumes here) to hand out is a budget buster this week. Everything is costing more.
Sorry…for the rant.
But any mom, walking around tomorrow with your kids (my youngest is too old for me to go with him), please wear a flowered dress; a boob belt; and PLACE A CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER. See how many of your neighbors ‘get it.’
I’ll go one better:
I know someone who owns that hideous black and white flowered rag that Manzilla made popular on “The View”. I have that, a cheap wig, and a bag of Cheetos that I will carry with me.
Never been in drag before, but this is special. Can’t wait.
Anthony…awesome…add a ‘chip’ (and a scowl) though.
Gosh…I wish we could post photos here
If I have the nerve to take any, I’ll post them on my site. Also, today found a perfectly round handbag on canal street that I’m painting to look like a severed head complete with wig.
A friend told me I should make it into HRC’s head (because of what Manbitch did to her during the campaign), but I just can’t bring myself to do it.
Rep. Grayson (FL District-08) should be the scare crow from the Wizard of Oz. With a sign that says “If Only I had a Brain”
I knew I should have picked up the campaign sign with his face on it.He left up in a rural section of the district far to long after the election. However, it was more fun to laugh at the beer bottle someone kept putting in it(not me!).
I can’t stand the sight of Grayson.
Yes, me too!!
Oh a big Obama face mask and the body suit of a hot dog, i.e., wienie, ought to do it.
Throw in your assorted Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid custumes and Obamaween has never been scarier!
If they go as themselves that’s quite scary enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This needs to go viral.
Rep. Michelle Bachman is calling for all Americans to go to Washington D.C. to stop the socialism of America.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLDzKfsUzy0&feature=player_embedded
She’s asking for Americans across the country to attend her rally on November 5th on the White Houes steps.
Urgent for those who are able to attend. Please help send this viral to all tea partiers. There is not much time.
Is it the White House steps or the Capitol steps?
Sorry to say, there are no pics. But I was not the only MO at the party.
All told, I was one of eleven (at a party of around 35). That is, if you don’t include the FIVE MANNEQUINS DRESSED AS HER that had serving trays taped to their hand, offering h’ors d’ouvres in various areas of the apartment.
A fun time was had by all, and there was a costume competition.
The winner? Manzilla carrying the severed head of the Statue of Liberty. I took my winnings happily, then went out to the street and freely (still dressed as the FLOTUS) spouted the most vile remarks while in character.
People were NOT hostile (as I had been warned they most assuredly would be) – rather, they started asking ‘her’ questions, like “Are you happy now that you and your husband have set back race relations at least 50 years?”, as well as “How does it feel being married to a man who lied to our children?” and. my personal favorite, “Is it true that you, Oprah and Valerie Jarrett are doing a remake of “Dream Girls”?
All of this on the ultra-liberal Upper West Side of Manhattan.
