Bloomberg is an, well it starts with a and ends with s.

NEW YORK - Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Wednesday he asked Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) 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.


A call to Cheney's office was not immediately returned Wednesday. He will attend a memorial service at ground zero

Brit was visible upset about this development - noting that on the 1st anniversary, President Bush was there and his presence seemed to be comforting to the families and Brit seemed to feel it would be the same for Cheney. You could tell Brit was not happy.
