Ok, time to play Name That Scandal!
It's not about the leak or 9-11 or Iraq or WMD or Bush v. Gore, it's really about everything.

Trying to come up with something to wrap up this whole mess instead of taking them one scandal at a time. Something that can be used to tie all the lying, stealing, cheating, and bullying together with a simple idea that can be hammered home at every chance.

I'll start with a couple, have tried to avoid any 'gate' names, this is so big, it deserves its own reference.

The PNAC Affair, it all goes back to those traitorous bastards.
The NEO Con, they have played us at 3 Card Monte for too long.

Don't have a prize available, just the recognition of creating a resonating meme.

1. Bush Family Evil Empire sums it up.
It attaches to EVERY scandal and crime against the constitution since WW2, including Kennedy assassination, IranContra, and BCCI.

4. The conservative attack on America
That is what it is, an attack by the right wing fundamentalist on the American way of life.
They have tried to destroy the American Dream, and American Democracy.
