Although this blog is focused on analyzing and critiquing our government, with Halloween right around the corner, I’ve decided to add a little humor to my criticizing effort.
Many choose boringly basic costumes: a wicked witch, devilish demon, or ghoulish ghost, but if you’re still searching for that perfect costume, why not dress up as one of your favorite politicians?
It gives you a chance to find your inner statesman, to really explore the lying, cheating, and viciously partisan side of you! You can be anyone from George Washington to George Bush. Here are some of my favorites:
Arnold Schwarzenegger- The Governator
Squeeze into your old business suit, throw on an Arnold mask and your costume is complete! Now you just have to practice your Austrian accent and say things like, “I’ll be back” and “Hasta la vista, baby.”
Barack Obama: Barackula
With its fierce fangs and spiked ears, this mask gets to the core of Obama’s opposition. If you’re going to pull this one off, you have to wear all black and could even add a cape. You could also just stick with the classic Obama mask to showcase your support for the president.
Abe Lincoln: Honest (and Spooky) Abe
Dressing up as Abe would be a simple costume to put together. You can throw on a top hat, although I would suggest straying away from the “gun shot in head” spoofs.
Bill Clinton: Zippergate
This could possibly be one of the most entertaining of all of the your sinister political mask options. The jokes are endless…enough said.
Other ideas include Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ronald Reagan, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon, or even Sarah Palin.
Even if a plastic mask is too pricey (around $10-$30), you can still buy a paper one (less than $1) to truly embrace and discover your deeply hidden politician. Or just throw on an Uncle Sam hat and go on your happy American way!
Happy Halloween!
