Some people like to dress as monsters, some people like to dress as movie stars, but if the political
Halloween costume is more your flavor, then we recommend the following sure-hitters for Halloween 2009:

The president and his missus are always a favorite. Also, perfect for the politically minded Halloween
couple.
Props: Michelle’s arms, Barack’s ears, and Bo the dog. Also, you could just clothe yourself in hope.
4. Sarah Palin
The crazy rogue former Alaska governor, and would be VP, just loves being in the spotlight, even as your
costume. Just don’t joke about her kids or she’ll shoot you from a helicopter.
Props: Glasses, suit, up-do. Also: shotgun, dead moose, brain-dead husband, pregnant teenage children,
and an angry John McCain trying (and failing) to order you around.
3. Rod Blagojevich

Colorful, fallen Illinois governor who flamed out on TV after denying he tried to sell Barack Obama’s
senate seat. As if you didn’t know.
Props: Giant hair wig, copy of his new memoir, and a penchant for yelling things like, “I’ve got this thing
and it’s f—ing golden” and “I was framed.” Oh, and singing Elvis songs.
2. Mark Sanford
South Carolina governor who made news earlier this year when he went missing for several days and his
team claimed he was “hiking the Appalachian trail,” which we later found out is southern for “porking your
Argentinian mistress.”
Props: A suit, a backpack, hiking boots, a map of the Appalachian trail, and plane tickets to Argentina.
Also, an embattled, plastic-faced political wife.

South Carolina republican rep who was chagrined after heckling President Obama’s address to Congress,
town-hall-style.
Props: Just alternate between screaming, “You lie!” and “I’m sorry!” Oh, and your congressional health
plan insurance card, which you clutch in a loving embrace.

POLITICS
Politics is a process by which groups of
people make decisions. The term is generally
applied to behavior within civil governments,
but politics has been observed in all human
group interactions, including corporate,
academic and religious institutions. It consists
of "social relations involving authority or
power" and refers to the regulation of a
political unit, and to the methods and tactics
used to formulate and apply policy.
