There are political parties — and then there are political parties. This Georgie Is Outta Here party box is decidedly the latter. Complete with all of the goodies you'd need for a party — cups, balloons, Dick Cheney party hats, a Pin the Tail game of questionable taste, it's all there. The site has a pretty amusing video of the contents of the box in action, just so you can see exactly what you're getting.
Who would throw this kind of party? I asked one of my decidedly not-Republican friends (I'm very tolerant) his thoughts on his hopes for pending political celebrations. "Well, first there is election night party — we're making shots for each swing state called. Something blue, fruity, and yummy for an Obama win and something strong and red for a McCain win, like bourbon with Tabasco." (My response: "ew.")
So why a party for Bush leaving in January? "It's to celebrate a catharsis of turning the page on George W. Bush. Usually, any small reason to throw a party is good enough, but in this case, I think we are all so giddy and ecstatic to have Bush finally out of office, it will be a very, very big bash. After two very disappointing, almost soul-crushing lost elections, with the years in between as bad as we'd hope to ever see, the end should be a party with everyone in high spirits."
What do you think? Would you have an end-of-Bush bash? Do you have big plans for election night?

I wouldnt do it but I don't think its offensive.
Maybe YumSugar will come up with a menu! ha!
1I'm a little surprise that there's any disbelief at all over a party celebrating the end of Bush.
2I would throw a party for the end of Bush! We are already having an election night party.
3he's got an approval rating of like 20%? it can't be only democrats who are fed up with him at this point. this is a great business idea, wish i'd thought of it first.
4Seems to me that people are already celebrating. I see so many of those Bush's last day bumper stickers.
5Considering how destructive Bush has been to this country and the world, I do find a party offensive. A prayer vigil maybe.
6That is true Steph.
7I want that party kit! I can't think of a better reason to celebrate. At this point, I truly believe ANYONE is better.
8I don't find it offensive but I won't do it as well. I'm just holding my breath waiting who's going to be voted in for the next one.
9Regardless of our feelings, that party package is a brilliant business idea!
10It's not offensive, but I'm not into it personally. I'll be bringing political-themed cupcakes to work to celebrate the election.
11I agree with Steph, considering everything that is going on I don't think it is time for celebration, especially because Obama (err, whoever wins!) is going to have a lot of serious issues to deal with. I will wait to celebrate once we get out of this recession
12I'd rather celebrate a new beginning then an end of something. That's my perspective. I'm trying to get in contact with someone who is throwing an election party.
13My wife and I are considering a victory victory party. We are guaranteed a winner since we usually cancel each other out in the voting booth.
14I wouldn't throw one but i'd love to go to one! it seems like it'd be fun! lol
15Bourbon with Tabasco sounds good to me, but I don't even want to know the stomach problems that are going to result after too many of those shots. That's going to burn no matter how it comes back out, if you know what I mean.
16sure y not
17i'd love to.
18And I can purchase this kit where............?
19UnDave--same with my husband and I. We will cancel each other out!
20UnDave--same with my husband and I. We will cancel each other out!
21My birthday is election day . . . I'd love to throw a party like that, but unfortunately it's a school night, and I can't be that tired on Wednesday (or for the rest of the week).
22Oh heck, where can I get this kit?
23I think it's a good idea to celebrate the end of Bush's decision making and commandeering this ship. I may have a small party. Main dish, chilled edamame and deep dish pizza.
24OHG -- that's an awesome idea!!
25Cute concept, but I'd NEVER spend $40 on that kit!
26i'm never one to be that forward with my political views however i would certainly attend one if given the chance. i think that he went in to a job way way over his head 8 years ago and then messed things up because of assumptions and wrong information, and now we're in such a mess that i'll be happy to see him go.
27My husband and I are going to be celebrating big time... 20 January 2009 is our one-year anniversary.
28CELLL-E-BRAAA-TION! (come on celebrate, have a good time)
29I dont think its Offensive, but its immature in my opinion.
30Bring on the end of Bush parties, I say! In fact, here's a whole site about it: http://bushbash09.com/
