Bloomberg Snubs Bush Event Over Girlfriend Job Issue

The New York Post reports:

Mayor Bloomberg is snubbing President Bush - declining to show up at a White House gala after his gal pal's bid for a top Washington job was shot down by the National Rifle Assocation.

Just days following the revelation that Diana Taylor's nomination was quashed, The Post has learned that Hizzoner will skip the event Monday night featuring the famed Dance Theatre of Harlem - because of a more pressing engagement with the Throgs Neck Civic Association in The Bronx.

It appears that Mayor Bloomberg isn't too popular with Republicans nationally.
