11. You beat me to it 'quisp'.
Only by about five or six days. Holy crap! I've equalled Bush's response competence.

At least I would have spelt Val's last name correctly.

P.S. Plaime.

when you know you can't win.

13. And here's the proof...


The Death of a Buzzword


Times Scott McClellan said "blame game" or "blame-gaming" yesterday: 10
Times Scott McClellan said "blame game" or "blame-gaming" today: 0

Times Scott McClellan said "finger-point" or "finger-pointing" yesterday: 8
Times Scott McClellan said "finger-point" or "finger-pointing" today: 0

So Bush goes to the well and declares a day of prayer - the true sign they've run out of ideas.

5. Fine. If they don't play, they lose. That's the way it works.
Fuck them and their 'blame game' meme. Here are better memes:

Tax Cuts Kill.

Cronyism Kills.

George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People.

6. They say that because they know they're guilty
If they could point the finger at Dems they would but they know they're at fault which as why they're screaming "Blame Game!, Blame Game!".

7. no more blame game!
You guys certainly have a right to call this whatever you want but I am starting to have a problem with that phrase.

In the first place, it sounds like a cute name........leave it to the conservatives to find a cute name for something as serious as accepting responsibility for the deaths of American lives on American soil!!

This should not be about something that sounds cute or acceptable.

And secondly, if you continue to use their phrases, you are allowing them to define the conversation. I think we're better than that!

And lastly, this is NOT a game! Ask the victims of Katrina if it was a game to them as they watched people drop dead right in front of them!

It just seems to me that by calling it a game, we are trivializing what happened. I think we should be showing more respect for the people who lived and died in this hell.....than calling it a game.

8. But they were more than willing to blame the victims at the very
beginning of this fiasco.

"People who 'chose' to stay there."

10. I'm not saying we shouldn't blame.......
........and actually blame isn't even the right word.

To me, it's more about accountability and responsibility.
And we certainly should hold them ALL accountable!! I just don't think we should call it a game........it's definitely NOT a game!

15. LOL, they have now removed the talking point "Blame Game"
and have substituted it with "Political Talking" as per Snottie Scottie. Not one blame game comment today during his briefing, instead the introduction of political talking. ROFL

Watch for it, it takes a few hours for it to show up with the other talking heads but it surely will.
