1. Bastard.

I'd like the VP's office buried under protest mail for this abomination. Multi-millionaire can't be bothered to pack a black overcoat and appropriate hat?

Copy the Israeli embassy while you're at it. ("Here's one of your dignified big GOP 'supporters' phoning it in for Holocaust victims.")

32. Technically, no. His parents were married. Sorry, but thanks for playing!

[notadmblnd]

2. what an idiot is that his ski pass on his zipper?

nt

[Ganja Ninja]

3. He looks like he's going ice fishing. n/t

:dunce:

[kick-ass-bob]

4. wuss.

everyone else has an overcoat - he has a freakin parka!

[Mizmoon]

7. well, he does have the world's worst ticker

he must worry about getting sick a lot. I bet one good flu could kill him. Seriously.

[wtmusic]

14. he looks like he's not long for this world

nation-building is stressful work

[tk2kewl]

21. HARD work

its HARD work

[movie_girl99]

15. oh but HE got a flu shot

like everyone else in the WH.

[kick-ass-bob]

25. that's true. But I can't believe that

some of those others sitting around him are in much better shape.

[wtmusic]

8. with a stocking cap

that's what happens when he doesn't let Lynne dress him in the morning

[CatBoreal]

5. CHER-EYE-ST!

Someone get that man on Queer Eye??

I'm embarassed for you!

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. So, people are there to mourn and to memorialize the deaths

and Cheney is there to - what? - take measurements of the barracks and check out the equipment and find some new ideas and soak up the bad energy and negative vibes to get a recharging of his EvilBattery?

And is that Sean Connery in his "Red October" hat sitting behind and to the left of Cheney (our left, as we look at Cheney)?

[underpants]

11. I don't think so but he is giving him a WTF? look

:wtf:

[SCDem]

9. Looks like he is at a football game not a Memorial

for over 6 million killed.

[movie_girl99]

10. what a frickin embarrassment

stupid fucking putz.

[RubyDuby in GA]

12. And I seriously thought that no one could be more embarrassing

for this country than *.

These people have no class at all.

[XNASA]

13. The guy's raking in war lucre like nobody before him....

And he shows up to this solemn event in a parka and a watch cap?

The ultimate Ugly American.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. Pretty ironic, isn't it, that he, who is getting rich off the war,

would go to a place run by the people who his boss' grandfather financed and got rich from as well.

It all makes such a perfect little circle.

[Darknyte7]

16. Where's Waldo???

[Richardo]

17. I bet the festive white fur trim was the hit of the whole event.

[underpants]

19. You realize that he isn't wearing dress shoes either

look those are boots.

As someone pointed out with his health he does have to very careful of getting the flu but for crying out loud he is the VP of the United States, something else could have been done.

These pictures do have that whole "I didn't know it was picture day" feel to them.

[Darknyte7]

20. It's actually a military issue parka...

My dad still has the one issued to him when we got stationed at Elmendorf AFB (Anchorage, Alaska) back in the 70's. Notice the military patch on the right front...

[Richardo]

22. That's another thing. I'm sick of 'civilian' govt wearing military gear

Another line blurred - another unique American tradition trashed.

We might as well all learn to play soccer - we're no different now than the rest of the world.

[ContraBass Black]

24. We like it just fine.

[tjwmason]

31. No don't

Football (soccer) really is very bad.

He certainly doesn't look much like the representative of the most powerful nation on earth to me.

[Acryliccalico]

23. Definatly..................n/t

[Drifter]

26. Sure that ain't some homeless guy ?

27. Haven't you people ever heard of Casual Friday??? n/t

[Richardo]

28. You're going to hell, Bunny

BwaHAHAHAHAHA! :D

29. In a handbasket, baby!!!

:hi:

30. An article on CNN had a great comparison...

<snip>

Other leaders at the event in Poland on Thursday marking the 60th anniversary of the death camp's liberation, such as French President Jacques Chirac and Russian President Vladimir Putin, wore dark, formal overcoats and dress shoes or boots.

"The vice president, however, was dressed in the kind of attire one typically wears to operate a snow blower," Robin Givhan, The Washington Post's fashion writer, wrote in the newspaper's Friday editions.
