Does anybody else think it is really stupid when the word "gate" gets added after every scandal.(nipplegate, zippergate, and now nannygate) This is really stupid and shows a real lack of creativity. If you know any reporters, or are related to one, please let them know this assinine title will no longer be tolerated. Thank you.

I thought this thread was going to be about Bill Gates. Here I was all ready to start ranting on about guillotines again. But alas...

Watergate was a given seeing as it started the whole stupid thing. My rant specifically refers to all subsequent scandals with the suffix -gate. Here's an idea. How about a No-Prize to the rhper who can come up with a better scandal name from the mentioned scandals.

Watergate doesn't need fixing as the name refers to the Hotel from whence the scandal originated. Every other scandal after has had an -gate added to it for some stupid reason. This must stop.

Who said I was wearing pants 😛.....No I am, but your statement is false. Zippergate is over, and I'll take it to court if I have to. I will not be impeached! Unless I end up in a giant peach, that would be interesing...

Well I have two gates and so I know how you feel. Especially when you try to walk over them but don't exactly lift your leg high enough and then trip and stumbled over the stupid thing. Then you have bruises on your legs and look stupid in skirts. Down with gates!
