Can you feel the excitement of Halloween in the air? Some people in my circle are dressing up already. One guy I work with went to a costume party. I asked him what costume he used. He said, “I dressed as Triple H.” I made a comment that identified me as not only old but also a Democrat. “Hubert Humphrey?” I asked. Turns out Triple H is a famous wrestler. Who knew? The conversation got me to thinking, if someone wanted to be the illustrious HHH of Minnesota and nationwide politics, how would they dress? I picture a brown single-breasted suit and a waving hand. Hubert Horatio Humphrey would be a difficult one to portray on Halloween. LBJ on the other hand would be much easier. For him you would wear a suit, hold a long eared stuffed dog by the ears, and be prepared to show off an appendix scar. Nixon would be easy too because you can buy a mask of his face and make peace signs with your fingers and shake your head in his distinctive way. For Gerald Ford you could wear a gray suit, a bald cap, carry a golf club and chew gum. Ford is difficult but not as difficult as Triple H. If I get invited to a costume party, maybe I’ll buy a huge round hat at a second hand store and go as Bella Abzug.
