So long as nobody asks you any questions about topics other than pigs, pit bulls and lipstick while you are out trick or treating, this is a killer mask. If you think you will have to answer questions while out trick or treating, you'll want to wear the John McCain Costume Mask underneath this one but be very careful where you go cause that one terrifies many children and adults.

When you wear this mask you will sometimes be mistaken for Miss Teen South Carolina, particularly when you eat too many jelly beans, get to much sugar in your system and start stammering on about bailouts for health care, one in five trade jobs, the Iraq, such as the South Africa and other nonsense.

The mask is a HUGE hit and you can often prevent it from melting if you have a digital voice recorder that plays back Palin's response to Katie Couric when Katie asked about the bailout. The less you actually have to speak, the less likely the mask is to melt. If you would like to try recording it, the text below works fairly well and can be replayed as a standard answer to questions about anything from economic policy to snowmobile parts, moose poo, views of Russia and what it means to be a maverick.

"But ultimately what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. um, uh...it's got to be about job creation too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track so healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reigning in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans and trade and we've got to see trade as opportunity not as competitive scary thing but one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today we've got to look at that as more opportunity all those things under the umbrella of job creation, the bailout is a part of that."

If you want to make the costume even more realistic and get your kids involved in some hands on creative activities, deduct $150 from what you would normally pay in taxes and be sure to pick up the K'Nex Education: Real Bridge Building and have the kids build half of a bridge that you can strap to your back. This helps to distinguish you so that people don't mistake you for Tina Fay from SNL.

If it is raining when you go out trick or treating, make sure you bring lots of extra lipstick. When the lipstick on this mask rubs or washes off, it turns into a pit bull mask and people tend to get a bit upset when you start lifting your leg in the doorway while asking for candy. If people start putting milk bones in your candy bag, that is one sure way to tell that you need to reapply the lipstick fast.

While not without its flaws (melting, turning into a pit bull mask), this is a fantastic Halloween mask. If you can get a few buddies to go with you and get one to wear the Cheney Mask with fat suit and shotgun combination, a second to wear the John McCain Costume Mask and a third to wear the Adult's Moveable Jaw George Bush Costume Mask you can go hunting for WMD when the Halloween festivities are over. Get the guy in the GWB mask to tell everyone that you four are the Three Amigos and 49% of the US population will believe you.
