When do we get to point fingers, to lay blame?

It seems that the trend over the past decade has been for people to say, when a crisis is upon us:

"This is no time to place blame. We need to deal with this issue right now and fix it. Now is not the time to point fingers."

and so we shut up for awhile. But then, when the crisis has passed, and we try to bring those responsible to justice, we then hear:

"We need to move forward. It doesn't help anyone to dwell on the past, we have to proceed into the future."

When do we get to lay the blame where it belongs?

Just tonight on Rachel's show, the woman from the EPA used exactly that line, and all I could think of was: right, just like how eventually we'd deal with war crimes and torture and stolen elections and broken voting machines and the patriot act and the wars overseas. etc ad nauseum.

WHEN???? Goddammit!

We have a committee studying that question at the current time.

We'll let you know what they come up with.

When a DEMOCRAT messes up, then repukes and the media blame and point fingers and blame and start investigations.

good time to blame, according to people using this one/two punch. Funny, often these are the same people who often talk about accountability, but never for Repubs.
