If your old pirate, pope or ghastly ghoul masks no longer bring in the premium Halloween goodies, try trick-or-treating with unswerving resolve as President Bush or with maximum diplomacy and firepower as Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell. Amaze and baffle your neighbors by donning any of these masks and costumes of U.S. government personalities.
1) Richard M. Nixon Masks
Nixon’s boys, who went trick-or-treating at the Watergate, clean forgot to knock. If the guy at the costume shop is out of Frankenstein, grab a Nixon mask. "Boo! I am not a crook."
2) Bill and Hilary Clinton Masks
Problems with his “domestic” policy almost got him tossed from office in his second term. Now, he gets $100,000 per speech and she’s a U.S. Senator who may run for president.
3) George W. Bush, Jr. Masks
They won't come to the door, huh? Probably a house full of evildoers. Show your resolve by going back tomorrow. Whether you go to the candy or the candy comes to you, you will get the candy, when you dress up like George, Jr.
4) Vice President Dick Cheney Masks
When they ask who the heck your are supposed to be, just say, "I'm Vice President Dick Cheney. I've had so many operations, I make Frankenstein look like an outpatient."
5) George Washington Masks and Costumes
Come on, who would refuse to give candy to the Father of Our Country? “Please kind citizen, have you some warm candy corn and jellybeans for the boys at Valley Forge?” This outfit comes with everything but the wooded teeth. Also great for plays or getting respect around the office.
6) Gen. Colin Powell Masks
Listen up and listen up good! The top general of Desert Storm needs some treats and he needs them now, soldier. Or, try... the Secretary of State cordially wishes to negotiate the exchange of sweet goods with your noble household.
7) Ben Franklin Costume Kit
"No, I was NEVER president! I could have been, mind you, but Jefferson told me to go fly a kite." This outfit, complete with wig and funky old glasses includes everything you need to live the "Franklin experience."
8) Al Gore Masks
Those odd looking, tasteless, yet somehow menacing little flakes in your caramel apple? Yes, they are… chads! Happy Halloween, Mr. Former Vice President.
