What does this joke mean?

Question

"It is so cold that I saw politicians with their hands in their own pockets"

Is it referring to how politicians are always taking money from our own pockets?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

This joke is about how politicians are cold-hearted. 
Basically, it is saying that it is so cold that even people who are normally cold hearted have to try to keep warm.

It is also exactly as you say, with the politicians having their hands in their own pockets instead of other peoples' pockets.
