Funny Costumes Tips: Funny Political Costumes
Political satire–it’s the world’s third oldest profession. It’s the reason Jon Stewart and “Saturday Night Live” rule late-night TV. Johnny Carson did dead-on Ronald Reagan impressions. Political humor inspires funny Halloween costume ideas. Everyone will laugh if you dress as a Democrat donkey (the “Shrek” Donkey costume works well) or a Republican elephant.

With political masks, you have built-in funny costume ideas. Just be sure that your attire matches your funny costume mask. Might we suggest:

* Duck hunter’s outfit (or a waffle costume) with a mask of Senator John Kerry
* President Clinton mask with Big Mac or French Fries funny costume
* Senator Ted Kennedy mask paired with Breathalyzer or Beer Keg funny costume

And to honor our current president, you can wear a George W. Bush mask with a classic cowboy costume for this Texan–it worked for President Reagan funny Halloween costumes in the 1980s. That’s not so much a humorous idea as a patriotic one. But even our President pokes fun at himself. That’s the best kind of political humor–laughing at ourselves in funny adult costumes.
