Blame game

I don't care for politics (the game) in any form, Washington or Corporate. The blame game is one of the game tactics that seems to be over used today.
  1. It's all THEIR fault, not mine - The latest example I saw this morning on CNN. FEMA had declared it was out of money (this was stated over and over again) and a congreeman from Louisiana was on ranting that FEMA had plenty of money in other budgets and said something like "they should take the money ($30 billion available) from this other account and then go to congress to approve it afterwards". Now congress is the first one to bitch if FEMA or any other agency spends money not authorized and start up congressional hearings on who violated policy if the did exactly this. So, should FEMA only follow the rules when no one is bitching at them?
