National Security, always our President's top priority... mm hmm....

From Talking Points Memo via the Washington Post comes this little gem: our President, elected because he is somehow perceived as superior on security matters, or more to the point, who got elected because of obscenely cynical politicization of the worst tragedy in modern American history, is forcing Washington DC to divert millions from their homeland security efforts in order to help fund his massive inaugural (which has already been getting plenty of bad press for being so oversized when that money could easily be used elsewhere, for example, hmmm... Iraq? Thailand? Naaahhh...) The poetic awfulness of this President shaking down DC's security fund for his inaugural is just somehow perfect in its badness (like just about everything in his Bizarro world). I mean, Washington DC, they act like they have some reason to be a PRIME TARGET or something... Get a grip, you pussies, and fork up!
