This is the closest the Obama administration will come to endorsing Kimye.
The EPA’s Office of Water tweeted about its progress in the iPhone / iPad game “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood” Monday night, reassuring America that the government rejects the idea of an “all work, no play” approach to life. (It’s like President Obama has said: “lead by example.”)
Anything associated with the current administration receiving a grade of ‘C’ has to be considered a win at this point, right?
The tweet has since been deleted. No word on if the EPA borrowed a scrubber from a coal-fired power plant to do it.
Members of Congress and the game’s maker, Glu Games Inc., both had some fun with the flub.
I’m the last original author of the Clean Water Act, but I have no idea who/what a Kardashian is and I rarely play games. You OK, @EPAwater?

Keep at it @EPAwater, you’ll get there. #AList #WillowPapeIsTheWorst #KimKardashianGame

The description of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood reads thusly: “Join KIM KARDASHIAN on a red carpet adventure in Kim Kardashian: Hollywood! Create your own aspiring celebrity and rise to fame and fortune!”
Maybe there are certain segments of the Obama administration focused on upward mobility, after all.
Update: more tweets!
Whoops…our bad. Sorry about tweet. Upside – more attention for the Office of Water (http://t.co/GhuYcpwqwx), thanks @KimKardashian

Staff has now informed me of what a Kardashian is.
I’m only left with more questions.
