A "mandate" of the unfunded kind

Not only is Bush throwing some dozen major inaugural bashes in a "time of war," but it appears that he's intending not to pay for them --elephant1 in an unprecedented move, the Administration is refusing to reimburse D.C. for the huge security costs associated with the inauguration, which is likely to mean that the strapped District will have to divert Homeland Security funds from other projects to cover the party activities. Have these folks no shame?
