Joe the Plumber v. Sarah Palin

October 22nd, 2008 by Jacqueline Linge

Ah, Halloween – one of my favorite holidays. It’s that one unique moment in time when you can lavish yourself in wigs, glitter, body paint, blood,  and even a pair of sequined hotpants without raising an eyebrow. I usually start constructing my Halloween costume at least one month ahead, although this year it’s not happening due to obvious reasons. I have a lot of homework.

So in my last minute quest for a costume, I can’t help but think that it must be political in nature. Afterall, these elections have dominated our lives for quite some time, and will continue to dominate them for the next two weeks. However, I’m beginning to fear the number of drunk Sarah Palins and Joe the Plumbers that will invade our streets come October 31st.
