somewhere the "blame game" is actually getting played

Wow, I though the John Street - Lynne Abraham feud over Philly's murder rate was bad. You can't listen to the radio in this town without hearing the police rip the district attorneys and vice versa. Apparently the police hate the DA for refusing to prosecute a boatload of cases, the DA hates the police for not getting lab reports and witness information, and both are loathed by the general public for New Orlean's crime rate and abysmal murder clearance. It's the kind of fight that I always imagined was happening, but to see it playing out in public is, well, vaguely satisfying.
