the unmitigated gall!

From MSNBC :

U.S. tells D.C. to pay inaugural expenses
City will divert funds from homeland security projects

D.C. officials said yesterday that the Bush administration is refusing to reimburse the District for most of the costs associated with next week's inauguration, breaking with precedent and forcing the city to divert $11.9 million from homeland security projects.
Federal officials have told the District that it should cover the expenses by using some of the $240 million in federal homeland security grants it has received in the past three years -- money awarded to the city because it is among the places at highest risk of a terrorist attack.

A spokesman for Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.), chairman of the House
Government Reform Committee, which oversees the District, agreed with the
mayor's stance. He called the Bush administration's position "simply not
acceptable."

We already know that bush thinks that he is more important than the tsunami victims, and now he shows that he believes that he is more important that the security of Washington DC!!!!!!!
I don't know how he can keep doing things that are just unbelievable!!!
