The Washington Post: Cheney Should Dress Up for Death Camp
Dick Cheney, Dressing Down
Well, well. There is a solemn ceremony marking the moment when a place where more than ONE MILLION people were exterminated in the name of racial purity, and the WaPo thinks that the Vice President should be dressed in a nicer suit? Hell, folks - it was SNOWING...it was COLD...it is the middle of WINTER in Poland!
Never leave it to the liberal media to try to examine the real issues. Make sure not to highlight the Auschwitz ceremony, but that Vice President Cheney wore a parka and a hood.

Washington Post fashion writer Robin Givhan described Cheney's look at the deeply moving 60th anniversary service as "the kind of attire one typically wears to operate a snow blower."
"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.
