Foley scandal. What's the -gate?

[zakur]

So far I've seen:

Foleygate
Predatorgate

Which one will stick, if either? What are some other possibilities?

I don't suppose anyone would consider using Penis-gate? Nah, too descriptive.

 

[Lisa Simpson]

Wasn't the first Congressional page sex scandal called page-gate? Or am I just getting senile?

I realize that there was a scandal at the Watergate Complex some 30+ years ago. Does the mainstream media think I'm too stupid to realize when another scandal occurs unless the words "-gate" appear after the name of some special word or term associated with the scandal that appears to be clever or stylish? IT IS A SCANDAL, JUST A SCANDAL!! This is why mainstream media has fallen so low, they're so concerned about the LCD, that they have more in common with Access Hollywood than with the Evening News only 20 years ago! Sure, I know it started before then, but they just keep sinking lower! What happened to journalistic integrity? What happened to reporting the news instead of sensationalizing it? It must be a conspircacy! When it breaks, I'm going to call it Massive-load-of-self-centered-ratings-hungry-media-whores-gate!

I shall henceforth refer to this rant as KarkGate.

Smileygate? Emoticongate? :Mad:gate? gate?

I wonder what reporters would do if there was a political scandal centered soully around water? Or some kind of wooden gate? What would they call that?

No worries. Politicians have no souls.

Gategate, the scandal too horrible to think about!

We're all waiting for Microsoft to have Gatesgate. Probably when he's busted for claiming seven-hundred-dollar haircuts on his taxes.
