I guess I've never been anywhere where it's really cold to know what correct protocol is for those conditions. That photo makes it look like it's
really cold - and his dress looks entirely appropriate to me. And since a significant proportion of the billions of people around the world seeing the picture also live in places where it isn't cold - I'm guessing that likewise they also wouldn't really notice anything amiss.
Not that I'm an expert on protocol - I once had dinner at the President of Kiribati's house, got drunk and tried to convince him to come out nightclubbing with me (the Right Honourable President Tito wouldn't be in it) (BTW. I was wearing a Hawaiian shirt - but so was he, so thats OK).
Anyway - I think one should be discerning with what one is critical of with polititians. I mean, the odd bad hat here, the odd headjob there - surely these things can be let slide.
(NB: I have never masturbated in a tree, furiously or otherwise, with either Mr Cheney or Hoblit)
Hoblit & Cheney, sitting in a tree!
