And furthermore....how many people there were wishing they had a nice parka and boots?

You and I may think that the fact that he was there is all that counts, but we're not world opinion.

Who the hell are you, anyway? I figured you were deployed or something...

well its ok to make sure you are equal, but to boycott because they are not part of the anniversary of the death camp. a little news not featured is how some people of the muslim community have gone into jewish graveyards in the UK and smashed grave stones dropes paint on them and painted swastickers on them.

you cant play the moral card in the one had and the racist card in the other, i dont think many people are taking this seriously. with these acts the Muslim council in Britain could have used it to improve their standing in the political spectrum, they should have condemned the actions of the FEW who did this, instead all we get is nothing but excuses.

Hoo Boy! You got that right. Fashion/ceremony bedarned...if it's frigid, nasty weather...I'm right there with him with proper weather covering. Hey, the guy has had health issues...he's using his head....and don't give me the "well, some of the others may have health issues also, but they dressed ceremonial" sorry, if they didn't have enough commonsense to dress appropriatly....duh...

When you're a VP, so much of the battle is fought with the wardrobe.

So VP Cheney won that one

...'cause while everyone else was flexing their limbs for the next hour anda half to get warmed back up, he was presumably quite comfortable

I like his show of smarts better than the next guys tweed custom-made overcoat

**Wyzcrak** · 01-29-2005, 06:09 PM

Some would call it a show of selfishness, as he prioritized his personal want (not even need, as his departure from the expected apparel saved him from no physical threat due to cold) over the respect one shows by donning formal attire in such an occasion.

Cold ears come and go more easily than respect perceived at international ceremonies, I think. If our first national priority was keeping the VP warm, I imagine we would have kept him in the White House.

Like Cing said... no biggie, but let's call a spade a spade.

We'll just have to agree to disagree...I still call it common sense

I AGREE WITH YOU WYZCRAK..

it seems though that because he is conservative it makes no difference what he does he is automatically right.

**Wolfie** · 01-30-2005, 02:08 PM

I thought the person counts, not what they look like or how they dress...............

Just because he didn't freeze his ass off to make a fashion statement doesn't he mean he wasn't showing respect....he showed up and attended the entire event in the cold. Sometimes common sense should be applauded, not fashion sense.

Hell, as far as we know, he could have been wearing a shirt and tie underneath the parka but choose to wear a warmer coat. Remember, the common cold can kill people.

Eh ? What difference would "conservative" make ?..or whether he was "radical right-wing" ?..or left ? ...hmmm.......

Which would have been more of an issue ? Wearing proper clothing?...or not showing up because it was "wrong" to dress that way, and he wasn't going to sit out in the cold, just so he could look "dignified"...

yeah you tell yourself this and turn up to a funeral in shorts and t-shirt because its too warm to wear black.

if you dont see the similarity you need to go read up on what the hell they were there fore. it is not just showing up, it is showing respect.

he should have worn black, it was the comemoration of over 1million people dying for no reason at all.

wearing black at a funeral is not a fashion statement.

**DudeMan** · 01-30-2005, 02:36 PM

le me just point out the attitude being put forward here...

hey look at the Us representative he is wearing green at an event to remember 1 million people + dead.

"yep and look at every other person at the event wearing the more traditional black at such an event what a bunch or idiots. we are right and the whole world is wrong.... "

hmmm i think that speaks for its self.

But when you're a dignitary, THAT'S WHAT YOU DO.

It could be that Dick Cheney is at his most comforatble wearing a lime green t-shirt that reads "Tennis Players Have Fuzzy Balls" on the front, but you don't don that garment when attending a formal function.

In the same vein (though certainly not to that degree), his choice of clothing was questionable given the event.
