Costume Idea: "Dr." McCain

Previous Costume Next Costume

John McCain thinks he knows what's best for women's "health" -- as his air quotes so delicately demonstrated at the last debate. If McCain becomes our next president, should women start lining up to consult with this reproductive health expert instead of their own physician?

To make this horror come to life:

1. McCain mask -- available pretty much wherever costumes are sold.
2. Medical paraphernalia -- you might not be the real thing, but neither is McCain!
3. Doctor's coat -- any basic doctor's costume will work.
4. Name tag -- make sure people get the joke, and the point. Ours says: "Dr." John McCain, McCain Women's Clinic, We specialize in the "health" of the mother

Alternatively, if you can't find or don't want to wear a mask, you could be a doctor working under a McCain administration. You could put tape over your mouth, and your tag could say: OB-GYN doctor, second guessed by President "Dr." McCain, who knows what's best for women's "health." Get creative!
