It's got a name now - the WILSON AFFAIR

[crissy71]

Aptly named by the French - I think it's going stick

1. J'Accuse!

Zola would be proud!

[Brucey]

2. But I so loved the term

Intimigate. It tells what this is all about: intimidation.

[crissy71]

4. i like that too

but the -gate thing is used up, old and this one has a certain, je ne sais quoi, ring to it

[trapper914]

8. I agree

And since the right wingers attached "gate" to every "crime" they accused Clinton of, I figure we need a different suffix for a real crime.

3. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong....

it is Treason therefore it is TREASONGATE! no affairs about it!

[fob]

9. I think you're missing it a little. Treasongate is a part of

The Wilson Affair. The Wilson Affair wraps together treasongate and yellowcakegate and no-wmdgate etceteragate.

It's like stadiums, Think of Treasongate field at The Wilson Affair Arena!
You are correct, this is Treason but there is MUCH more to the story than just that. The Wilson Affair lends an air of credibility to the multitude of charges, imo.

11. I also like Treasongate

It cuts to the chase and hits you between the eyes.

"The Wilson Affair" is too sophisticated and gentile.

[leftchick]

12. precisely...

murkins = NO sophistication that is needed to discern wilsongate vs treasongate..... better to keep it simple for the murkins....ahhh the French still have hope for us though!

[meow2u3]

13. Personally, I prefer the Treason Affair

Sums up everything the PNAC and the BFEE are doing!

14. or NEO-CONSPIRACY

Dick's Neo-Conspiracy

5. Nice read Crissy, Wilsongate works for me, the article as ....

a whole sounds like they are trying to draw attention away from the real issue. It's treason, we are at war and some one in the White House (or Executive Office Bldg., wink, wink, nod, nod)doles out national security secrets. Federal laws have been broken, the WP is just trying to do its part to piss on this raging wildfire! No offense intended to you Crissy, my venting is directed towards the WP. :hi:

[crissy71]

7. yeah maybe something with more teeth

although I kind of like the poetry of it

[ByeDick]

15. NO NO NO . . . This is NOT A "GATE"

To define treason as a subset of Watergage is not acceptable.

This Wilson conspiracy stands alone in America's history.

6. Most probable first leaker?

Personally, I like TreasonGate. Hell, they've (Coulter, et al) been ratcheting up the rhetoric, why not us?
