BLAME GAME TIED

Federal, Local Governments Deadlocked in Finger-pointing Contest

The ongoing blame game that began in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is officially tied, as Federal and local governments have each dished out identical amounts of blame, the official scorekeeper of the blame game said today.

The scorekeeper, Karl Chanswood, is president of the National Blame Game Association, an organization that for the past forty years has promoted the blame game as a professional sport and hopes to see it included someday in the Olympics.

“I have to hand it to the White House,” Mr. Chanswood said. “They were way behind in this finger-pointing contest, but then they really brought their ‘A’ game.”

At the White House, spokesman Scott McClellan brushed aside criticism that the White House responded too slowly to being blamed by state and local governments and should have started returning the blame much sooner.

Mr. McClellan pointed out that President Bush had recently authorized the release of the Strategic Blame Reserves, an emergency supply of blame that is used only in times of national crisis: “That’s a sign of how seriously we take winning this blame game.”
