Tips for Creating a "Joe the Plumber" Halloween Costume

Some people are saying, GOP whiners mostly, things like "poor Joe the plumber is being persecuted". Why doesn't the "liberal media" just leave poor Joe alone? How it is persecution to reveal the truth about the so-called "Joe the plumber" and his credentials is a head-scratcher. Joe Wurzelbacher injected himself into this Presidential race, John McCain is the candidate who beat the drum for "poor Joe" in the final Presidential debate and on the campaign trail.

That makes Joe "the plumber" fair game, as the man is not a licensed plumber, not even certified as a plumber's apprentice, and was not counting on it being revealed that he owes back taxes along with his lack of credentials, apparently.

So, now that that's out of the way, here are some tips for creating a "Joe the plumber" Halloween costume. Start with a skinhead wig. You should be able to purchase one at your local Halloween supply store. If not, costumesupercenter.com has one you can pick up for $3.99.

Low rise, butt-cleavage revealing pants are optional, since Joe Wurzelbacher is not a real plumber, but might make the Halloween costume more "eye-catching". If you're shy about revealing your gluteal cleft, or are afraid of getting treats dropped down the chute, I can't say that I blame you, especially since some places now have ordinances about such things.You could use a cheap pair of "tighty whiteys", have the pants at half mast, pull up the briefs and draw a crack with a black magic marker. Before putting on the briefs, of course.

From there, all you need is a cheap plunger to carry around, a tool belt with some pipewrenches maybe, or, in keeping with the fact that Joe the plumber is not really a plumber, a container of drano.

Of course, in the eyes of some, no Joe the plumber Halloween costume would be complete without a McCain-Palin shirt. However, if you just cannot bring yourself to wear one, I understand. And that's all it takes to create a Joe the plumber Halloween costume. Just don't expect a lot of treats from Obama-Biden fans.
