Cheney Dresses Down for Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation

I just thought that this was a bit sad on the part of the vice president.

OSWIECIM, Poland -- Vice President Dick Cheney's utilitarian hooded parka and boots stood out amid the solemn formality of a ceremony commemorating the liberation of Nazi death camps, raising eyebrows among the fashion-conscious.

The fashion experts get on it too.

"Cheney stood out in a sea of black-coated world leaders because he was wearing an olive drab parka with a fur-trimmed hood," Givhan wrote in Friday's Post, also mocking Cheney's knit ski cap embroidered with the words "Staff 2001" and his brown, lace-up hiking boots. "The vice president looked like an awkward child amid the well-dressed adults," she said.

I am not going to be too hard on the VP, but honestly... couldn't you have thinked this through a little bit? And since you dressed up so nice for the Inaugration, it just seems like you cared less about something as important as this anniversary.

I am sure this will help us win back the support of the international community.
