WaPo -- Name the Abramoff Scandal - Contest Winners
So, you may have seen a while back that columnist Al Kamen at the Washington Post held a contest for people to send in names for the Abramoff scandal -- announced the winners today -- (my faves -- more at the link):

Bribeshead Revisited

Desperate House-Lives

Runaway Bribe

(I'm sure DU can add a few more). :)

1. Runaway Bribe, LOL.
Takes a swipe at the scandal and the media in one shot. (No offense, Dead-Eye Dick)

2. A serious scandal should not be labeled with a humorous name
What's wrong with "The Abramoff Lobbying Scandal"?

IMO that contest undermines the seriousness of the scandal.
