Cheney's Auschwitz outfit raises eyebrows Support Apolyton buy from Amazon



"The vice president might have been warm in his parka, ski cap and hiking boots," Givhan said. "But they had the unfortunate effect of suggesting he was more concerned with his own comfort than the reason for braving the cold at all."

He didnt pay attention to how he was dressing because he had oil profits on his mind...

but we right-minded americans can never go wrong
quote:
Those appropriately dressed European leaders represented countries that behaved and are still behaving inappropriately--and all their dignified clothing cannot disguise their moral and intellectual nakedness. Why, they were probably shivering, and instead of reflecting on the lessons of Auschwitz perhaps they were thinking that once again the Jews bothered them.

Cheney, with the decency he embodies and the country he represents, was the epitome of good taste--something the European leaders should emulate.

As the WaPo pointed out, the comparison between this event and the inauguration is begged. On the other hand, maybe he decided to bundle up for this event, since the inauguration was too difficult for him. Heart patients aren't supposed to be out in the bitter cold, if they can help it.
