Time to Give Gate to President Bush

Richard Nixon had “Watergate,” Ronald Reagan had “Iran-Contragate” and Bill Clinton had “Monicagate.” It seems, therefore, only fair that the Bush administration should have its own special “gate.”The problem is that there are so many possibilities: “Port-gate,” “Iraq-gate,” “Katrina-gate,” “Wiretap-gate,” Intelligence-leak-gate,” and on and on, that we would need a special investigation to keep track of them.Therefore, it is simpler to refer to the mess as “Bushgate” and give George Bush and his friends the gate through impeachment hearings and with the November congress-ional elections.
