The Real "blame game"
Edited on Tue Sep-13-05 07:42 AM by SHRED
The very first and loudest "blame game" I heard was from the RW talkingheads as they all blamed the local authorities. They still are. The bombarding of the airwaves was deafening. Any criticism, turned the Prez's direction, was abruptly labeled, "blame game" or "Bush bashing".
The message was clear; run cover for the incompetent Feds.
It didn't work:

Notice how the RW talkingheads came out in unison with the term, "blame game" and the false statement (lie), "Well, I think if you look at what actually happened, I remember on Tuesday morning picking up newspapers and I saw headlines, "New Orleans Dodged The Bullet."
They are desperate and pathetic.
