With election day just a week away, politicians are looking to sway swing voters by pulling out all the stops this Halloween.
Here are just a few of the costumes we’re likely to see come tomorrow night:
Obama as Disappointing Jesus
When Obama was elected back in 2008, disenfranchised voters saw that golden halo Mother Mary warned you about. “He’ll turn water to wine!” they thought, truly convinced of the candidate’s ability to miraculously undo all of Bush’s WTFeries, like Alanis Morissette did at the end of Dogma. Clearly, the POTUS is NOT Jesus [regardless of the people let down by his reluctance to walk on water, as he’s been too busy doing less showy, albeit important, things]; however, he does have a sense of humor, which will be on full display when he dresses as Disappointing Jesus.
Mitt Romney as a Giant, Patriotic Flip-Flop
As always, Romney couldn’t settle on a costume idea. Forcing poor little Ann to sit and watch as he spent a good several hours changing into and out of various possibilities, he finally sucked it up last minute and threw on whatever he happened to have lying around. Or might’ve skimmed across while googling his name.
Paul Ryan as Gollum
“Gollum is a prime example of the Underdog Story,” said Ryan in regards to his get-up, which earned some “Oh, wait…you’re in costume?” glances. “He’s also a muderous, conniving creeper easily manipulated by power,” said people who actually read the books, “But…you do make a good Gollum.”
Sarah Palin as a Sexy Tea-Bagger
“I’m a tea-bag, duh.”
Hillary Clinton as Sarah Palin
Because EGAD.
Joe Biden as a Teddy Bear
Because Joe Biden is that snuggly grandpa-type politician we all want to hug and listen to as he offers nuggets of advice. Also, he thinks thinking too hard about Halloween costumes is a bunch of malarkey.
