Poll Shows Bin Laden Edging Foley as Most Tasteless Halloween Mask

When the doorbell rings and the cries of "Trick or Treat!" ring out this Halloween, how would candy givers feel about finding Usama bin Laden on their stoop? Or Mark Foley?

Turns out that though bin Laden's shock value has diminished slightly this year over last, he still wins out over Foley as a totally tasteless costume option. But only by a sliver.

A FOX News poll released Thursday shows Americans would only be slightly more offended by masks in the likeness of the Al Qaeda terrorist mastermind than they would by those representing the disgraced Florida congressman accused of trying to seduce male Capitol Hill pages.

Seventy-two percent of participants in the FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll believed wearing a bin Laden mask is offensive, compared to 69 percent who think dressing as Foley is offensive.

But I don't know how I'd be able to see with my head up my ass.

2. I would go for the Bush mask - On Dexter this week the voice over

was talking about what fun Halloween is and how we get to wear masks to pretend for a brief time we are the monsters we most fear. As that was being said, the young boy in the costume shop held up a GWB mask. Classic television.
