Point of fact is that wearing any colour other than black to an occasion such as this shows a marked lack of respect.

Yep, such as making a post consisting of " poop" in the Auschwitz memorial thread a couple of days ago.

It's probably a simple mistake, but the Vice President of the USA, with a huge support staff behind him, shouldn't be making mistakes like this.

Why would Cheney diliberately snub his nose at an event like this? I realize the Bush Administration has a strong dislike for much of Europe's leadership, but this memorial had nothing to do with such things.

That photo pretty much sums up the Bush Administration - they are ugly Americans, elected by ugly Americans.

I'm sure Cheney didn't mean to cause offense but he is an ignorant hick from South Dakota or some other God forsaken backwater. He didn't know any better.

I was staggered to learn recently that President Bush had never travelled outside the USA before being elected President. Christ on a bike - no wonder he struggles to understand the world around him.

From his Whitehouse.gov biography:

quote: Mr. Cheney was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, on January 30, 1941 and grew up in Casper, Wyoming. He earned his bachelor's and master's of arts degrees from the University of Wyoming. His career in public service began in 1969 when he joined the Nixon Administration, serving in a number of positions at the Cost of Living Council, at the Office of Economic Opportunity, and within the White House.

Should be a requisite for becoming President. He is supposed to be our top diplomat afterall; the Secretary of State is #2 after him.

Except for the lady to Cheney's back-right who is wearing all brown.... No, we cannot waiver, if we allow shades of brown then it's a slipery slope to grey, navy and eventually neon colors. Brown is still bad, just not as bad as Cheney's drab olive which is sooo '90s. Wait, the guy behind that woman is wearing an even lighter brown hat & scarf! Who does he think he is?! And then there's the guy in the upper left with a blue scarf that's tooo bright and light grey hat! Even Cheney wore a black ski cap. But, lets be fair and at least give Cheney's black gloves a .

The Auschwitz victims are probably turning in their graves at these... colors. It would have been better if Cheney and these people didn't go at all, but at least we have Bob Givhan as a fashion writer to address this serious tragedy.

I still can't believe this non-issue is being debated.


In the countries devastated by the Indian Ocean tsunami, do you think the emergency services and anyone who helped should have first thought:

"Oops! I may not be wearing appropriately sombre enough clothing for the occasion, should I happen to be in the presence of the recently dead and the fashionista police. Better don some Muji or Issey Miyake multi-purpose washable chic funeral pyjamas.''


I mean seriously- there's a man wearing a flat cap in the 'photo. Did noone tell him how inappropriate it was to wear an article of clothing so dear to the hearts of some of the world's urban proletariat?

What was he thinking ?!!?

And there's another one with a bare head!

How religiously disrespectful!

And some people look to be wearing items made of real fur, stripped from the bodies of poor defenceless animals!

Have they no shame, compounding human cruelty and suffering with humanity's barbarism to animals?

A flat cap such as the grey one worn by the man standing one from the left in the row immediately behind Cheney.

If you look at pictures such as L. S. Lowry's portrayals of the urban working classes in Manchester and Salford you'll see many men wearing them, as you would in photographs of Welsh miners in Victorian and Edwardian times. My grandfather used to routinely wear one.

Everyone prove your point and wear holiday shirt to a funeral of someone who meant a lot to you. If it's somekind of wierd wish of the deceased to have that kind of party and everyone does then it doesn't count. I dear you.

Nobody can be sure if the other people who put some effort and dressed up for it really care about cause of the occasion either, too bad Cheney was the one revealing. He didn't prepare for it. It stands out if others do. Is there a reliable evidence he didn't prepare for it? Duh.

That's not the point. Holiday shirt = inappropriate and that **** Cheney has on = inappropriate. See the pattern? Get me point? Point teh typo gremernatsi VJ? No of course not, why would you.

Yes, all fit nicely into the same little box.

I suspect you might go zombie at your funeral and scream curses non-stop at your best friend if (s)he wore an olive coat and then make an article about it.

Nevertheless, this issue been blown way out of porportion, all starting from a fashion writer who had nothing else to talk about.
