Conservative Halloween costume ideas (photos)
A few photos from my my most recent blog post: (http://MugsysRapSheet.com">MugsysRapSheet.com)

If you want to dress up like a Conservative idiot for Halloween this year, Wingnuts have gone out of their way to provide us with some excellent costume ideas. If there's one thing we've learned this past year is that Republicans love to play dress-up:

Are you or your girlfriend going as Sarah Palin this year? YAWN! Hair in a bun, granny glasses, red Versace work suit, then go around making REALLY dumb jokes about how you "can see November 2nd from your front porch", while giggling hysterically at how funny you are. Two points for creative extras like a baby on a bungee-cord or baggie labelled "Moose Jerky".

Or maybe you're in the mood for something a bit more creative?

The Wicked O'Donnell of the West


O'Donnell herself already enjoys dressing up like her mentor, Sarah Palin:


Nor does it take much imagination to don a Nazi SS uniform and go as millionaire businessman Rich Iott (R-OH):


What about wannabe muckrakers James "Pimp" O'Keefe and his girlfriend Hannah "Prostitute" Giles (who, incidentally NEVER actually wore their costumes to the ACORN offices), whose deceptively edited video launched an unfair tirade of attacks on both sides that ended government funding for the organisation?


And let us not forget how many members of "The Party of Lincoln" enjoy reenacting the Civil War... complete with slaves:

Recently, we saw Rep. Glenn F. McConnell (R-SC), civil war reenactor posing with mock slaves


But at least McConnell is dressed as a Union soldier. Most Republican Civil War reenactors seem to prefer dressing up as Confederate soldiers. Who can forget former Virginia Senator George "Macaca" Allen? I wouldn't blame you if you have. A few years ago, his brand of subtle racism made headlines. Today, it wouldn't get you mentioned in the local Penny-Saver.


But maybe you're looking for a costume idea that requires a little creativity? Something that gets a laugh when you're asked the inevitable: "Who are you supposed to be?"
Glenn Beck is an almost bottomless pit of great costume ideas:

2. Iott's in there.
Most people don't realize just how many costumed wingnuts there have been until they see all the photos in one place.

MANY more photos on my blog. Thanks for the K&R.
