NY has itself to blame for terror cuts, Feds say
... as article reveals another flagrant lie by the petty, lying useless asshats in the misadministration.

Federal officials said yesterday that the city had not only done a poor job of articulating its needs in its application, but had also mishandled the application itself, failing to file it electronically as required, instead faxing its request to Washington.

City and state officials insisted that they had made no mistakes. And a state official provided a written acknowledgment from the federal government saying that the city's application for grant money had been "successfully submitted" and said that the city could "log in" any time to view the application.

Meanwhile, NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg suggested the money instead went to those areas that could spell trouble for the GOP in the next election:
"We tried to do an analysis of some of the moneys and whether or not they were given out for political reasons, and in fact in many of the places where they got money — but arguably there's no threat — there are close elections either at the Senate level or the House level," the mayor said.
Playing politics with 9/11 money. Jebus Effing Christ.
