WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Vice President Dick Cheney raised eyebrows on Friday for wearing an olive-drab parka, hiking boots and knit ski cap to represent the United States at a solemn ceremony remembering the liberation of Auschwitz.

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.

Oh you mean the leader of France, the country that rolled over and played dead for the Nazi's and then turned around and helped them in their war effort...or Russia, the country that only got into the war because Hitler played them like fools and went back on their mutual agreement not to attack each other??

I'm fairly certain Cheney doesn't give a damn about what these idiots are saying but I think it's pathetic. So he's not the best dressed guy in the audience, at least he's representing a country that BEAT DOWN the Nazis, you know those guys who were doing all the killing there at Auschwitz.
