Post Makes Huge Deal About Cheney Snorkle

[Bogart]

Cheney stood out in a sea of black-coated world leaders because he was wearing an olive drab parka with a fur-trimmed hood. It is embroidered with his name. It reminded one of the way in which children's clothes are inscribed with their names before they are sent away to camp. And indeed, the vice president looked like an awkward boy amid the well-dressed adults.</NITF>

<NITF>Like other attendees, the vice president was wearing a hat. But it was not a fedora or a Stetson or a fur hat or any kind of hat that one might wear to a memorial service as the representative of one's country. Instead, it was a knit ski cap, embroidered with the words "Staff 2001." It was the kind of hat a conventioneer might find in a goodie bag.</NITF>

<NITF>It is also worth mentioning that Cheney was wearing hiking boots -- thick, brown, lace-up ones. Did he think he was going to have to hike the 44 miles from Krakow -- where he had made remarks earlier in the day -- to Auschwitz? </NITF>

Old Dick looks more comfortable then the rest of them.

Maybe his luggage got on the wrong Air Force One and were lost.

It's only Air Force One if the President is on board. It's Air Force Two if the VP is on board I believe.

He looked to me like a guy with severe coronary artery disease trying to live a few days longer by not thickening his blood from stoopid exposure to the cold weather.

I dunno, he looks pretty damn cold too!

I say blame it on his wife. Awhile back their was an article about men wearing pink dress shirts, and cheney was wearing one. When they asked him what kind of man wears a pink dress shirt, he replied "a man that lets his wife pick out his clothes"

He's probably the only one in that group without a .25 BAC. Of course he had to sport the Arctic gear.

That was my first thought too. My grandfather had a massive heart attack and survived for about 12 extra years. When it was cold, he had to stay indoors/warm for his own health. When he went out, my grandmother had to warm the car so he could comfortably go to Church or his doctors appointments. Hopefully, the fashion police will never have to live with such physical ailments.

I dunno, I recently bought a wool knee-length overcoat and it is much warmer than my columbia ski jacket :shrug: Had he really wanted to, he could have had the wool overcoat, a wool/cashmere hat and a wool/cashmere scarf and been nice and toasty, and looked very nice.

But the good thing about being the president/vice president of the US is that you can pretty much wear whatever you want, and if they dont like it you can tell them to kiss your ass (or as cheney says, go F yourself).
