After McCain wins the primary, what kind of costumed character should follow him around

[Orangepeel]

to light his notoriously short fuse? A guy in a Bush mask?

[MADem]

1. A tactical nuclear weapon guy, in a puffy little "tac nuke" costume. NT

[DJ13]

2. If I was mean, I would say a Vietcong uniform

But Im not THAT mean.

[dysfunctional press]

30. that was my first thought as well...

but it would probably go over as well as fred phelps

[InkAddict]

3. How about a large electronic costume Matrix Code Emulator

[gauguin57]

4. Mickey, the Midlife Crisis Mouse ... or the May/December Mouse

No, I don't really care what people do in their private lives; I just get sick of GOPers getting up on their moral high horses when they've dumped their previous wives in especially ugly ways.

"... It seems that McCain, who had once revealed to fellow prisoners of war in Vietnam that he wanted to be president, was restless in 1979. As Navy liaison to the Senate, he didn't have the career momentum he had counted on to propel him into an admiralty and on to the White House. He was 42, mired in stifling ordinariness. (Civilians call it "midlife crisis.")

"But McCain was making bold career moves on the home front, hotly pursuing a 25-year-old blond from a wealthy Arizona family -- while married. Carol, his wife at the time, had once been quite a babe herself apparently, until a near-fatal car accident (while her husband was in Vietnam) left her 4 inches shorter, overweight and on crutches. The couple had three children, whom Carol cared for alone while her husband was in Vietnamese prisons.

"McCain's strategy worked perfectly: After chasing Cindy Hensley around the country for six months, he closed the deal late in the year, had a divorce by February and was married to Hensley shortly thereafter. Bingo! McCain was a candidate for Congress by early 1982, his coffers full, his home in the proper Arizona district purchased. ..."

5. Guy in GRIM REAPER getup... would actually help put the issue in people's

minds...

[doc03]

6. My thought also, maybe an

Undertaker. He is older than Reagan, he will probably have Alzheimer's soon if he doesn't already.

[TwilightGardener]

7. A guy in a Mitt Romney mask. Mittens really seems to bring out the worst in him.

[blogslut]

8. McCain needs the Lieberman treatment

One of these:



To commemorate this:



Have it follow him wherever he goes, just like that car did with Joe.

[MzNov]

9. I was going to say the Kiss Float too!!

We must have a Kiss Float!!

A Hug Float!

[DCKit]

11. Tinky Winky

Moses, with cR@Zy eyes
Daffy Duck
The Hulk
Bi-Polar Bubba
The Ghost of St. Ronnie
A Horse-Drawn Hearse
Tweety (not the kiss ass, the other funny, yellow one)
The Ambien Smilie

[arthritisR_US]

12. A Rambo clad baboon. n/t

[alittlelark]

13. We should resurrect Captain America.

His death was timed well, however a new life force (hint - not McCain) has 'brought him back' from the brink....... (hint) it might have something to do with SCIENCE (hide the children!)

[defendandprotect]

14. Btw . . . is Schwartzenegger being mentioned as VP . . . ??? Heil . . . eh ---

[michreject]

18. Not allowed

Foreign born. Couldn't take over in case of death.

[defendandprotect]

33. Remember Kissinger --- ?

Rules get changed --- but let's hope NOT!!!

[JI7]

15. Bush costume demanding that worship/hug

[TexasObserver]

16. Popeye the Sailor!!

He's a sailor. He's cranky. He's short with little arms he swings around. He talks in gibberish. He thinks a fight is the answer to every problem. He blows his stack easily.

It would be easy to mimick him with the Popeye the Sailor song.

First, reduce him to the caricature he is.

[spooked]

17. Popeye is perfect...check this out!

20. That's Sailor McCain!!

yuk yuk yuk yuk

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

19. Not a guy in a Bush mask.

A guy in a CHENEY mask.

[VP505]

21. Old Father Time.

He seems to bristle when someone suggests that he is too old to be President.

[blondeatlast]

22. For "maverick McCain, what could be better than "My Little Pony?"

[terrya]

23. Not a guy in a Bush mask...McCain might hug him.

[tekisui]

24. The guy riding the Nuke from Dr. Strangelove.

[peekaloo]

25. Mr. Hankey from South Park.

[librechik]

26. A Yosemite Sam mascot, throwing angry fit s and firing off the popgun.

[gauguin57]

27. I dunno ... but if Romney gets the nom, Flippy the Flip-Flopper (dolphin costume) should suffice.

Flippy can get his dolphin costume out of mothballs from the days of the Kerry campaign. I ran into two Flippy's at one of the first Kerry campaign events after the nominating convention, and yelled at them to "get a real job!"

Following Romney around, they'd be getting a real job.

[salin]

28. Someone in a Bush mask with a cardboard cutout of McCain

hugging him ala the infamous birthday hug, while New Orleans was drowning. Ties him tightly to Bush and reminds all of his callousness.

[Vinca]

29. How about a person dressed up as a nurse with a wheelchair? nt

[radfringe]

31. a banana peel
