The Conservatives held their packed and fun Halloween party on the Hill. One of the best costumes was MP Rob Clarke (centre) seen here with his staff.

MP Candice Hoeppner (right) with her staffer dressed as Liberal MP Hedy Fry.

Tory staffer as NDP MP Linda Duncan’s “campaign manager.”

Glam staffers Jamie Ellerton, aide to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, and Kenzie Potter, director of parliamentary affairs for Tory House leader Jay Hill.

Is Ellerton really Spiderman?.

MP Deepak Obhrai.

MP Rob Merrifield (second from left).

MP Randy Hoback.

Pretty good selection of cute boys.

What do staffers do? Are they dogsbody or do they do proper work.

Ted

They are on paid retainer, ready for whenever the PMO needs to pass the buck and blame someone for a screw-up.

MJ Patchouli

Whoa, those staffers are young! The spider kid still has zits (ewww, shot him a little too close up, Mitch). No wonder they still want to dress up for candy.

Also the very pretty young thang dressed as Hedy — a little too much cleavage for the work place, young lady. How will you be taken seriously, like Lisa Raitt and Rona?

Foreigner

Young and well-remunerated. I still can't get over the fact that Jasmine MacDonell was pulling down over a 100,000 as Lisa Raitt's gopher.

MJ Patchouli

That's a lot of coin for a 28-year old! Plus, she wasn't even that good at her job…

Foreigner

What? No Jack Layton in a turban? No Stephane Dion in a beret with a baguette? No Michael Ignatieff with a mortar board on his head, a chai latte in one hand and a boarding pass in the other?

Oh, well. At least a few managed to parody some of their adversaries by looking like sexual deviants.
Cam

I can believe the Conservatives sanctioned an event with such blatant Satanistic overtones. Proof they have been in the Sodom of Ottawa far too long. Send them home.

and a Trekkie costume. Shocker there.

OK, so we need to teach Stephen Taylor how to make and wrap a toga. Because he seriously looks like he was just thrown to the lions. Or maybe that's the costume? "Roman magistrate who recently displeased the Emperor"?
Dot

I can remember little Stevie Taylor in grade one using that exact same white sheet when he showed up at our doorstep dressed as a ghost. Ooooh, scarrrry!

That was followed by ten years pretending to be a belligerent hockey player.

Was it a ghost with an unusually pointy head?

[relax folks - it was just too easy a joke to make...]

Jim

not the best looking crew of folks eh?

Well, not compared to you Jim.

TedTylerEzro

I think he was supposed to be the emperor given the golden laurel crown.

Maybe Nero just before the suicide? He was in a ratty tunic hiding out in the villa of one of his freedmen before he died.

"What a blogger dies with me!"

TedTylerEzro

LOL! Truly the plaintive cry of the modern Nero.

http://intensedebate.com/people/canucklehead canucklehead

I'm thinking Dionysyis

Well, not compared to you Jim.
Guest

Making fun of politicians is one thing, but making fun of admin assistants and receptionists is kinda low.

http://intensedebate.com/people/SeanStok SeanStok

You mean like the ones making fun of Hedy Fry and Linda Duncan?

Matt

exactly Sean.

and lets give Guest what they’ve asked for. Did Hoepner come as a lollipop… because with that big head on that skinny body…

Terren

And yet they deserve it. Lowlife little people who probably don't even have an undergrad degree.
They should all get their butts to law school or med school or something worthwhile instead of working for MP's.

Foreigner

Who's Randy Hoback dressed up as? Gertrude Stein?

Evalina

LMFAO

Matt Ferg

and you know Taylor was thinking the toga would hide his gut. It didn't.
Lord Kitchener's Own

I think "Stephen Taylor of http://www.bloggingtories.ca" is dressed up as "Stephen Taylor of http://www.macleans.ca".
http://intensedebate.com/people/OntarioTown OntarioTown

Ya, right Cons – stay classy. Make fun of others. Can you imagine the mock outrage if say – we dressed up like the Tory caucus as a, let's see, a Weight Watchers meeting.
Evalina

Yukc, you should have gone to a Liberal party. They are much better looking over there. And can't these Cons come up with better costumes than impersonating other parties? PATHETIC
Owen

Looks like kind of a lame party; should've come to the GeoClub party in Winnipeg. Now that was a good time!
Sam

They look a lot less scarier in those Halloween costumes!
