What better way to honor the strong, sexy woman who hunts wild animals and may some day -- horror of horrors -- stand in line to be president of The United States than to dress up as her for Halloween? Feministing brings us this Sarah Palin costume, complete with American flag bikini and rifle, all for only $59.99. Oh, and there are also her naughty librarian glasses, but it's hard to tell whether they come with the costume or not.

Along with a bunch of girl friends, I was sitting around last night pondering what to wear for Halloween this year. One friend said she was making a friendly polar bear suit. Another was contemplating going to a party as a waitress on roller skates. To the best of my knowledge, being the ex-beauty queen from Alaska hadn't crossed anyone's mind. Now I wonder whether showing up as Sarah Palin would be funny or just uncomfortable. "Haha, you're the idiot running for VP who might actually end up in the White House. Haha, way to bum out this awesome Halloween party."
