SubscribeHot 2008 Halloween mask: Sarah Palin!
Wanna scare the living be-whatsis out of your friends on Halloween?
Show up at their Halloween party as Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin! Just wear a slim black skirt, sexy red heels, rimless glasses, a brunette beehive with bangs and/or the hottest Halloween mask of 2008.
Just $29.95 and it comes with GOP elephant earrings.
Optional accessories you might want to add: dead wolf cubs, trophy antlers, a hunting rifle (or semiautomatic firearm of your choice), a pregnant daughter and a mustachioed husband. Halfway into the party, whip out your flute and play it.
Or bring a short, white-haired, old dude who keeps giving everyone the "thumbs-up" all night long.
Possible alternative costume: Bring a pit bull and try all night to put lipstick on him/her.
Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are reportedly planning to dress up like Todd and Sarah, reports the New York Daily News.
A New York costume shop owner told the NYDN that they've been deluged with orders for the plastic and rubber Palin masks. Some have resorted to taking the store's standard pig mask and putting bright red lipstick on it. There are even cardboard Palin masks now for sale on some costume sites. A few costume shops are offering Amy Winehouse wigs with Sarah Palin eyeglasses to construct a viable makeshift Republican vice presidential nominee costume.
And if you really want to get creative, just say you're not Sarah Palin but Tina Fey, dressed up like Sarah Palin. That'll really get a laugh. Or you could say you are Sarah Palin but you're dressed up like Tina Fey for Halloween. Either way.
Better yet, forget the Todd Palin date and bring along a girlfriend dressed as Katie Couric and have her keep asking you the same question over and over again. Refuse to name magazines or newspapers you've read and play dumb on Supreme Court rulings other than Roe vs. Wade.
Anyone else got a fun political costume idea they want to share?
Who's scarier to you? John McCain or Barack Obama? Joe Biden or Sarah Palin?

I have a question: don't you liberals ever tire of being smugly superior, disrespectful, mean-spirited, and vicious, while claiming to be the party of tolerance and love and morality, etc.?

Leave it to the LA Times...especially a column called "dish rag".
How about an Obama mask? Let's add a white turban, some explosives from William Ayers, and bottles of 7-11 wine and cartons of cigarettes for the homeless? Or better yet, a magic 8 ball to see how his position will shift?
Now THATS a costume!

IF I DRESSED UP WITH AN OBAMA MASK, YOU'D CALL ME A RACIST.
IS THIS THE USA I ONCE KNEW?

This is so unfair and disgusting. What a degrading and worthless piece of trash. I know you don't have anywhere near the courage that Sarah Palin has to even publish this comment.

Oh, stop picking on poor Sarah. She has so much courage and you Liberals are so holier-tha-thou.
Excuse me, but she's all preachy on abortion, no? And we need abortion in order to protect against people like her slutty daughter and white trash b/f making another child to neglect and be the next generation's crimeblog fodder.
The election's over already. And the Republicans lost.

I heard that stores aren't selling the "Obama costume"! That's right! The Obama costume is too readily available from everyone's bedroom, so the stores can't compete with the price. An Obama costume resembles a toga made from a typical bed sheet. A simple white towel wrapped around the head serves as a final touch for the Obama "true ID Muslim costume! An added accessory of his Muslim school report card and a hidden tape recorder of Obama insisting he was never a Muslim would add plenty of laughs as well! Also, for a scarier touch bring the recorded clips of Obama's Mentor and former Pastor shouting hateful slogans against Jews and Whites! That would make Halloween a real raucious scream for everyone! HEHEHE-- Happy halloween Everyone!

Most likely Michelle OHHHBama....she's a scary one...Don't let her near the WHITE HOUSE!
Another thing...remember when the Obama said that McCain didn't know what he was doing in DC when the fiancial crisis occurred two weeks ago...please tell me, WHY DID OBAMA follow him there? Was he thinking he might be missing out on something!?? I know he always watches from the sidelines...he never knows what to do...HE needs big daddy John to set the agenda!

Elizabeth, you'll never look as hot as Sara so instead of ranting and raving why not just get plastic surgery.

For all the people taking offense to this, there were Bill Clinton costumes long before they brought out the Sarah Palin one. This is all in good fun. If you want to take offense to something, take offense to how our country got into this mess in the first place. By being a political figure, you open yourself up to ridicule. There's always going to be the Stephen Colberts of the world.

Political costumes have always been huge, esp. in election years. Don't know why this is such an exception. I found my McCain mask online and I can't wait to trot it out a few days before he loses the election!

Yawn, was this posted on Faux News or something to get all of these ridiculous comments? The problem is, it's far too easy to make fun of Sarah Palin. If somebody wants to dress up like Obama, so be it! It just doesn't get the laughs that this twit of a woman does. Clearly, the right wing still doesn't understand the concept of humor.

LMAO don't get your panties all twisted!!!
Maybe I'll dress up as her daughter ;) Or just ass horns to the costume and voila!!!!

It sounds like you all need to grow up. Both parties are just as rude and hatefull! Why do you need to put down both candidates? All that matters is what they are going to do for our country, not their race, age, or pregnant daughter is doing. Be a little more tolerant people!

Blah, Blah, Blah. I just wanna know where to get the damn mask so I can dress up for Halloween.
