Bone, who was at the debate to help decide which of the candidates he would vote for, put up with a 14-hour sequester in order to get the opportunity to ask the presidential candidates a question on energy.

Well, in true Halloween spirit, Yandy has turned the Kenneth Bone uniform into, uh, a costume.
If you can’t snag Bone’s red sweater, you’re in luck: He’s selling t-shirts with his face on them, as he’s posted on Twitter.
Not only does it come with the red sweater, but it also includes a mustache, black glasses, and of course, a microphone.
Ken Bone may still be torn on who to vote for this November, but he seems to be having a much easier time deciding which brands he’d like cutting him checks. “But Ken? He got to my heart and he made a good case”.
“I love you Ken Bone, the Internet loves you”, said host Chris Hardwick.
After becoming the breakout star of the debate, Bone said he had originally planned to wear an olive-colored suit to the debate, but when he got into his vehicle that morning, the seat of his trousers split right down the middle. He adapted; he improvised with his “plan B”, a V-neck pullover flawless for Christmas Eve with his family, in front of a crackling fire and a tree surrounded by presents.
The real version of Bone’s red Izod sweater was also popular on Amazon, where every size from small to extra large was sold out by Monday afternoon. To own Bone’s sweater means to engage in a delicate convergence of pop culture and politics; It’s a comforting political artifact representative of an otherwise uncertain era. “It’s more famous than me”. He’s shaping up to be the No. 1 Halloween costume this year and there’s no stopping him.

Instead, Bone remains a man who missed an opportunity to make a difference – and the rest of you remain cheapened that you even cared for a minute about the shiny new object known as Ken Bone. Why or why not?
