it was recently noted that superhero costumes were far outpacing princess ones as children<u+2019>s halloween outfits of choice this year . but what would be dead last? probably the hackneyed political groan-inducer dreamed up by liz cheney for her daughter. 




for inexplicable reasons, liz cheney <u+2013> daughter of america<u+2019>s most detestable former vice president, dick <u+2013> decided to staple a bunch of pieces of office scrap paper onto her daughter and send her to school as <u+201c>hillary clinton<u+2019>s deleted emails.<u+201d> ugh. 




on social media, proud mom liz even boasted about the costume. trick or treat? our daughter gracie went to school in the scariest of halloween costumes: hillary clinton<u+2019>s deleted emails. #happyhalloween pic.twitter.com/gs33p78fjt

it<u+2019>s hard to imagine a less <u+201c>cool<u+201d> thing to go as than the living embodiment of a manufactured right-wing scandal that only aging conservatives cared about in the first place. teens, whom already lean heavily liberal, probably won<u+2019>t spontaneously become registered republicans because a classmate showed up covered in paper. making matters worse, the costume<u+2019>s gimmick isn<u+2019>t even obvious. kids will have to go up to gracie and ask <u+201c>so what are you supposed to be?<u+201d> and she will have to respond, time and again, <u+201c>i<u+2019>m hillary clinton<u+2019>s deleted emails. those things your grandfather was yelling about at the family reunion and quite literally nobody else is interested in.<u+201d> 




and because irony died and was buried in a shallow grave this year, liz cheney didn<u+2019>t bother to justify her own father<u+2019>s carelessness with emails. forget the 33,000 emails, the bush administration <u+201c>lost<u+201d> or <u+201c>deleted<u+201d> over 22 million. guess whose emails <u+201c>disappeared<u+201d> most often? 




most troubling, researchers found a suspicious pattern in the white house email system blackouts, including periods when there were no emails available from the office of vice president dick cheney. <u+201c>that the vice president<u+2019>s office, widely characterized as the most powerful vice president in history, should have no archived emails in its accounts for scores of days<u+2014>especially days when there was discussion of whether to invade iraq<u+2014>beggared the imagination,<u+201d> says thomas blanton, director of the washington-based national security archive. 




i guess stapling 22 million emails to her daughter would be a bit impractical, though. maybe they should have stuck with a superhero costume.
