Blame Game? No, It's A Reckoning
Blame Game? How dare the media or anybody in this Administration reduce the deaths of thousands of people to a “Blame Game”? It isn’t like this is the first abject failure of this Administration. It isn’t like he didn’t have to be shamed into responding to the most recent catastrophic disaster before Katrina, the tsunami. Have we forgotten so quickly? “The Bush administration more than doubled its financial commitment yesterday to provide relief to nations suffering from the Indian Ocean tsunami, amid complaints that the vacationing President Bush has been insensitive to a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions.” It isn’t like we all didn’t wonder where he went on 9/11, or why he spent 7 minutes reading “My Pet Goat”. It isn’t like we haven’t been living with the abysmal failure in Iraq for over 2 years. It isn’t like Osama Bin Laden is in jail or anything.

Blame Game? You’ve got to be kidding. I’d call it a reckoning and one that is long over due.

Need further convincing? Here is the ABC Guide to the Bush Scandals, which I still haven’t had time to complete. Blame Game my hind-end. When is this Administration going to answer for the disasters they have wrought on this planet.

3. Nominating.
As I said before, someone wants to know why her grandmother died in the Superdome, and they want to call it "the blame game?"

Sickening.
