U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., wondered what happened.

“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?” he wrote.

Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, from Texas was more blunt.

“I hope the Kardashians don’t mind being associated with something that spends millions without contributing to society,” he wrote.

Others found humor in the office’s mistake, as well as its C-List status.

Congrats @EPAwater on your Kardashian game success. If you can solve Kim K's complex problems, you can do great things with our environment.

Glad to know @EPAwater employees (paid by taxpayers) are hard at work playing Kim Kardashian games on their iPhones. pic.twitter.com/FfOcnE7NiW

.@EPAwater Would you classify that Kardashian game a Superfun site?
