Bush doesn't want to play the Blame Game, and you know why.
Will Durst says he never knew a chicken that wanted to play the Extra Crispy Game.
Here's a way to have a little fun at Dubya's expense. All proceeds to Katrina victims. Not a cent to Halliburton.
I was in Austin two weeks ago when the Republican "This is not the time for the blame game" talking points were issued, and everyone from the President to the precinct committeeman said it over and over.
So my artist buddy and I, both yellow-dog Democrats, decided maybe it was time.
It is called "The Blame Game," and the object is to get out of New Orleans - but there is no way out on the board, as players encounter the same problems the city's residents did before, during, and after the hurricane.
When players reach the Gretna bridge, where sheriff's deputies turned back evacuees, they are told to "Give up your food and water and go back to the start."
Landing on some squares calls for drawing a blame card, which announces a new development and tells who to blame. (Hint: W "wins" this part.)
Sample card:"Stay on your roof and lose a turn. The helicopters have been diverted for a photo op with the President. Blame Bush."
Or: "Wait in line three hours to get help from FEMA. When you get to the front, they give you a piece of paper that says to come back in three days. Lose 2 turns. Blame Bush."
Games are $10 plus shipping from zzzingers.com with all proceeds going to help Katrina victims. See the board and cards at The Xoff Files
