3. Thank you.

It needed to be said!

[Barack_America]

4. I'm still not done discussing OBLITER-GATE!

I'm still pissed off!

But, after that, "gates" are "dead to me", I promise! ;)

5. OMG ME ME ME ME ME

It's utterly stupid.

Watergate made sense. White Water Gate was kinda funny, but every other "Gate" is just plain stupid.

STUPID!!!

11. I quite liked Pearlygate

When some fundie preacher (was it Pat Robertson?) was caught with his pants down. But that's about it as far as clever gate puns go.

6. I suggested using "water" as a suffix....

as I'm betting Clinton would be none to eager to mention "Wrightwater"...

7. Me to the 1000th power.

I wasn't even alive for Watergate. Neither were most of the younger end of voters.

15. People can "gate" as much as they want

If they promise to stop "throwing _____ under the bus". Good god y'all, get a new cliche!

17. Maybe we should throw "gate" under the bus

[FatDave]

19. Instead of "throw them under the bus", I propose...

we use "nail their head to the floor" in honor of Dinsdale Piranha. It would make DU so much more fun.

20. The other, other operation, this was the turning point

[FatDave]

23. And even the police began to take notice

[IDemo]

16. I've said it repeatedly

It's a pathetically lame attempt to attach more significance to incidents or statements than they actually deserve.

Not to mention being unoriginal.

[FatDave]

Scandals are all named after a hotel? :wtf:

[samsingh]
