Playing the BLAME game: an analogy
Everyone in the state of Louisiana from governor on down to every last soul in NOLA was a victim of Katrina a catastrophic storm.

It is like they were all in a massive apartment fire. Bush et al are saying they should have saved themselves, the argument being that since the apartments were a fire trap in the first place that it's their fault they perished because they didn't escape in time.

Now, I don't know how it's done in other towns, but in my town, when a huge fire breaks out, the fire department and others who are NOT in the fire come to the rescue of the victims. They do not stand beyond reach of the flames and blame the victims for their plight. And worse, they don't cut the fire hoses to prevent help from reaching the helpless.

This is what has been happening in NOLA.

1. The Rovbots have sure put that word "blame" out there. As some other
Duer pointed out, it is about responsibility and accountability. Blame is a GOP word that serves their purposes at this point.

3. Are they going to get away with it?

I hate how they have expended more effort covering their asses than they have helping the victims.
