Costume party with liberals, I am going as the dishonorable Ted 'Chappaquidick' Kennedy, and my fiance is going as Mary Jo Kopechnie. We are looking for ideas, and suggestions, both props and sayings.

I'll be carrying a flask and slurring my speech. I'll have a pillow in my shirt (dunlop's disease) and talcum powder my hair and tease it up. I am considering a clown costume red bulbous nose.

She will be blue, especially the lips, have seaweed in her hair and carrying a steering wheel.

I am interested in other people's ideas, props, mannerisms, sayings, anything. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully you're not in Masschussetts.

I think the Mary Jo part is in real bad taste. Have her come as Hillary, you know, those lovely legs.

"sayings"

"Ask not what a Kennedy can do for you, ask what you can do for a Kennedy."

[Peace will be here soon]

I agree. How about Teddy and a keg of beer.

[DoctorMichael]

Do you like to live dangerously?

[blanknoone]

Yeah, I kinda know. It is a 70's themed party, so Hillary is out. Although it is questionable, I think it an improvement over her idea (Ike and bruised Tina)

Extremely poor taste on the Mary Jo thing.

I like the Kennedy part.

I think the Mary Jo part is in real bad taste.

Couldn't agree more. I know it's a million to one longshot, but how would you feel if a family member or friend was at the party?

A neck collar would be an obvious choice for a prop, after the accident Ted wore that around as if he were the one we were supposed to feel sorry for. There are many news photos from the time with him wearing that.

After 9 years of military service, I am not afraid of some liberals...except when it comes to my paycheck and my future daughters.

Wet life jacket, mask and snorkel, "blow up doll" Mary Joe tied to your back.

with a sign that reads, "Somebody please call 911"

[The South Texan]

Don't forget to take a bottle of whisky. Must have some on breath too.

[gieriscm]

How about adding fins, mask, and snorkel... so you can be the "Ted Kennedy Dive Team"...

[Viking2002]

Be sure she has that stiff-jointed, 'Night Of The Living Dead' gait to her. The whole rigor mortis thing going on, ya know? LMAO

[blanknoone]

I bounced the poor taste arguement off the soon to be missus. Here is her reply: If Mary Jo were here right now, she would totally approve of Ted being seen in this light. That bastard is responsible for her death, yet has gone on to fame and fortune. He needs to be remembered as the person who killed her because he was too concerned with his political career to call for help. He left her there for hours to die. There is no disrespect to Mary Jo...she was the victim.

My wife and I have been instructed by some friends to dress up as Matt Lauer and Katie Couric. I'm not sure how to dress up as matt, but if my wife lets me, I'll dress up as Katie, put a pillow over my butt, get some extra toothy false teeth, put on a sh*t eating grin, and ask stupid questions all night.

[blanknoone]

And he got away with it unpunished. And she is unremembered.

I'm not sure how to dress up as matt,

Just dress up as a metrosexual..

A friend of mine is going as Rush and his maid.
