Not Liking Bloomberg

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Wednesday he asked Vice President Dick Cheney not to attend the city's World Trade Center anniversary ceremony because Cheney's security would have "inconvenienced" family members of victims.

"Because of concerns that the increased security measures required for vice presidential travel would have inconvenienced or delayed family members, I have asked Vice President Cheney to attend a memorial service later in the day honoring fallen Port Authority officers and employees, instead of the morning's commemoration at the World Trade Center site," Bloomberg said in a statement.

Cheney wouldn't have been an "inconvenience" to anyone, damnit. It would have been appropriate and good for the Vice President to have attended the ceremony, and a little bit offensive for the mayor to have asked him not to come.

Never did like Bloomberg. Like him even less right now.
