Dick Cheney, Fashion Plate
I'm not a big fashionista myself, but then again, I'm not the Vice-President of the United States. Taking a short break from fear-mongering and running the country from undisclosed locations, Dick Cheney went to Auschwitz for the 60th anniversary of its liberation. In deference to the somberness of the setting, the gathering of world leaders dressed in formal black. But the Big Richard is too much a clothes horse to be limited by the "conventions" of old Europe. He was resplendant in his olive parka and "Staff 2001" beanie, dressed, as Robin Givhan in the Post put it, "in the kind of attire one typically wears to operate a snow blower."

There must be something appealing to Cheney about the Nazis. What real quarrels could he have with an ideology that espoused central authority, blind obedience, military interventions and unlimited power to incarcerate "enemies" of the state. Plus, those uniforms were fab-u-lous!!!

Come now, children. Let's not make haste in the judgement of our Second in Command. Perhaps his attire was merely a saftey precaution to ensure his pacemaker does not freeze.
