Can the media be any more stupid about this? Critizing the choice of clothing of our Vice President when attending a ceremony in a blizzard and miss the importance of his attendance? Can you get more lame? Read on.

OSWIECIM, Poland -- Vice President Dick Cheney's utilitarian hooded parka and boots stood out amid the solemn formality of a ceremony commemorating the liberation of Nazi death camps, raising eyebrows among the fashion-conscious.
Cheney replaced the zipped-to-the-neck green parka he sported in Thursday's blowing snow and freezing wind with a more traditional black coat - red tie and gray scarf showing underneath - for his tour of Auschwitz on Friday.
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.

I think these self important clowns are about as relevant as tits on a boar hog when it comes to the Vice President's choice of clothing. I wonder what they wear to work on a day that it is snowing so hard you can't see 3 feet. I'll bet they wear a similar outfit. If they don't then they are truly idiots.
