HALLOWEEN 'POLITICAL COSTUMES' FOR CARS

Liberal Death Car Brings Hell-o-Ween To Downtown

Wonkette operative “Jeff E.” sends this photo from outside his office in Fat Cat rich person land, 17th Street between K and I. We all know who’s behind that wheel. Will no one tell Alan Grayson to stop pulling these stunts?

    Grayson was just undercover patrolling K Street for whores.

    Ramming speeeeed!!!!!

    “We all know who’s behind that wheel.”

    Baloon Boy?

    It’s no Dragula.

    Skull and bones with a happy face? Loses some of the intended effect, I think.

    I read something about a car that pretty much fits that description cruising around Bethesda. The driver was reportedly shouting, “Avast, ye scurvy dogs! Prepare to be boarded!” at other drivers.

  7. rmontcal says at 3:16 pm, October 29th, 2009

    That sure is one happy skull and crossbones!

  8. Texan Bulldoggette says at 3:18 pm, October 29th, 2009

    DC throws a lousy parade.

  9. gurukalehuru says at 3:19 pm, October 29th, 2009

    ChernobylSoup v2: It’s because they like killing.

  10. AnSnarkist says at 3:21 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Nah, it’s just a promotion for the new Death Cab for Cutie album. Those hipsters are so ironic!

  11. SmutBoffin says at 3:21 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Someone has stolen Spïnäl Täp’s stage decorations and is making a getaway!

  12. bitchincamaro says at 3:23 pm, October 29th, 2009

    And to prove it, they’re driving with no insurance!

  13. ChernobylSoup v2 says at 3:23 pm, October 29th, 2009

    gurukalehuru: And that, kids, is why ChernobylSoup failed
    art appreciation.

  14. freakishlystrong says at 3:24 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Y’know, I’m a librul and all for Health care, and could not agree with the sentiment more, but when did we lefties get so lame at protesting and stuff? We need badly written signs in all caps with pictures of insurance companies with Hitler mustaches, NOT stupid smiley balloons.

  15. hockeymom says at 3:25 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Why is the theme from Ghostbusters running thru my mind right now?

  16. Larry McAwful says at 3:29 pm, October 29th, 2009

    freakishlystrong: If this were a real lefty protest for health care (or any other issue,) there’d also be some guys campaigning for HEMP and for Free Mumia any maybe someone with a little booth set up to explain the Kabbala to any passers-by. By the time anyone leaves the protest area, they’ll have completely forgotten what the actual reason for the protest really is.

  17. OzoneTom says at 3:31 pm, October 29th, 2009

    le petit mort: Is that what he’s crying about?

  18. Cranky Little Camperette says at 3:33 pm, October 29th, 2009

    HA! I just saw this thing on 15th & H — I was taking the cross-town bus. They weren’t yelling at the time, though.

    I did wonder how much a custom inflatable like that costs, though.

  19. Cranky Little Camperette says at 3:34 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Larry McAwful: Don’t forget the drum circle…

  20. bitchincamaro says at 3:34 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Bring out your dead.

  21. freakishlystrong says at 3:35 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Larry McAwful: So true, instead of teabaggers we are sadsackers..sigh.

  22. Chain Tattoo says at 3:41 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Why is the skull smiling? These folks know nothing about scary costumes. Me, I’m going to a Halloween party as Dick Cheney. In a thong. That’ll scare those folks.

  23. SayItWithWookies says at 3:42 pm, October 29th, 2009

    That’s frightening — I’ve seen big inflatable pirhanas reduce a big inflatable guy to something like that in seconds.

  24. Crank Tango says at 3:43 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Hey hey, ho ho, [blank] has got to go!
    What do we want? [blank!]
    When do we want it? Now!

    Does anyone give a shit about people chanting anything? No. We suck.

  25. Lascauxcaveman says at 3:44 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Larry McAwful: freakishlystrong: Cranky Little Camperette: Guys, what we really need is a blimp.

  26. Jim89048 says at 3:45 pm, October 29th, 2009

    alt-txt: Skull me, bitches!

  27. finallyhappy says at 3:54 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Hey, that is me in my political Halloween costume- who posted my photo before I got a chance???

  28. Gorillionaire says at 3:59 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Cranky Little Camperette: My custom inflatable Kate Winslet was pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for, especially in the world of custome inflatable products.

  29. Great Old Ones Party says at 3:59 pm, October 29th, 2009

    People would remember it more if they saw this giant-ass skull while the car was blasting THIS non-stop.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX6e7sO1ss0

    People remember “wtf?!” more than political slogans.

  30. Extemporanus says at 4:00 pm, October 29th, 2009

    ChernobylSoup v2: ChernobylSoup v2: The smiling “Jolly Roger” iconography is a subtle metaphor for the health insurance industry butt pirates and the rapacious joy they derive from fucking us all in the booty.

  31. Extemporanus says at 4:05 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Speaking of Ween, their incredibly moving ode to family, faith, and infection could not be more apropos.

  32. SayItWithWookies: Chris Christie will be missed.

  33. snideinplainsight says at 4:06 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Larry McAwful: But the puppets! Where are the puppets? How can we have a protest without giant gangly puppets!!!

  34. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:09 pm, October 29th, 2009

    The new Chevy’s gas mileage sucks.

  35. One low bridge and it’s inflatable history.

  36. couchbound says at 4:19 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Extemporanus: SMILIN’ MIGHTY JESUS!

    Crank Tango: We’re here; we’re clear. We don’t want any more bears.

  37. AggieDemocrat says at 4:25 pm, October 29th, 2009

    I heard this thing before I saw it - I’m at 17th and Eye. Couldn’t understand what they were shouting through my 8th-floor window, but I love the inflatable pirate logo they’ve got.

  38. Cassawary says at 4:42 pm, October 29th, 2009

    I’d like to see a car with an appropriate balloon representing Planned Parenthood’s core values.

  39. Great Old Ones Party says at 5:02 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Cassawary: $$$
    Same as insurance.

  40. thesheriffisnear says at 5:41 pm, October 29th, 2009

    SmutBoffin: Yeah, the giant Big Boy must have already been stolen from in front of Bobs. Crazy kids!!!

  41. Jukesgrrl says at 6:24 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Larry McAwful: ET AL: And Susan Sarandon.

  42. Suds McKenzie says at 6:56 pm, October 29th, 2009

    The Robert Novak Memorial Ford Fiesta.

  43. That ought to be the soon to be released (2020) GM fuel efficient ‘concept car’.

  44. Buttery1000 says at 8:02 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Could be worse: I once saw a van plastered with pictures of aborted fetuses.

  45. WickedWitch says at 8:26 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Chain Tattoo: Well I just threw up my dinner.

    Will blood be dripping from your fangs??

  46. Exterminatus says at 8:43 pm, October 29th, 2009

    These guys are a long ways off still from the far-right parties in Japan. Those weirdos drive around in large vans through major downtown urban areas in Japan with speakers blaring far-right propaganda. In the US one might describe these “vans” as being the size of a FedEx truck. These twerps protesting in the picture above are even more pathetic losers in comparison.

    Larry McAwful: And, university anarchists. Don’t forget the university anarchists. Oh, and PETA, also.
