Halloween Comes Early at the White House

In an act of near desperation, the Bush Administration called many of the most prominent names in Right Wing talk to the White House.  The last ditch effort at saving a Republican majority had a less serious side, as all of the main characters came in costume.  In full Halloween style, the collection of ghouls was ghastly indeed.

    Reported in attendance were five of the most recognized shills of the far right, brought in for a pep rally in the Oval Office.  Mr. Bush seems to think it is far more important to "preach to the choir" about getting the base riled up, than to talk with Generals about how to resolve the abysmal situation in Iraq.  Bush needs cheerleaders to drone on about how he is keeping us safe from the bogeyman, so we will not be able to see that he just might be the bogeyman.  So, let's go over the costumes.  

    Mr. Bush appeared in an original design, a combination mask that featured the face of Alfred E. Nueman (of MAD magazine fame) morphed with an old photo of Howdy Doody.  And those in attendance reported that he seemed to smell of sulfur, but no one could explain why.  

    Then there was Neal (Sieg Heil!)  Boortz, whose Joseph Goebbels outfit was to die for.   Michael Medved went for a softer more comedic look, going as the indomitable Mr. Burns.  (excellent....)  Mike Gallagher went a little more obscure, going as Vlad the Impaler.  Some thought the illegal immigrant on his spear was a bit over the top, but it got alot of laughs!   Laura Ingraham went with the old standby, showing up as the Wicked Witch of The West.  And in the funniest moment of the night, Sean Hannity, who did not wear a costume, was mistaken by a guard as a character from Night of The Living Dead.  Rush Limbaugh was unable to attend.  He planned to go, but took too many Oxycotins and fell asleep before getting to the airport.
