Poll question: What do we call the Gannon scandal?
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 03:35 PM by JohnnyCougar
There seems to be a couple of potential names circulating around. If I forget one, don't hesitate to reply.

1. Where's Gannongate?
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 03:32 PM by Hissyspit
Traditional, gives it 'legitimacy,' whatever that means...

Propagannongate?

2. I think "mangate" is ridiculous
And takes away from the seriousness of what this entire thing is about. jmho

Bush and Gannon are not "men"

4. Propagannon is my favorite.
Instant reminder that the propaganda aspect of the story is the most disturbing part.

12. I agree, except...
It works. People hear that and immediately assume someone is guilty of something. i.e. Rathergate

13. A story that will die
Just like all the rest. It won't bring down the empire. It won't put anything into focus. It'll be big in our little world of the left.

It'll be something else next week. And the week after that, and the week after that, and the week after that. What happens then? Another story. This is America. Hell, the 9/11 story this week wasn't too big, outside of our little lefty world.

18. Propaganda is a much more serious issue. Save the word.

19. I still can't help but laugh at "Mangate"
It sounds so much like "mandate" and works for obvious reasons.

I agree, though, it's best to focus on the issue of propaganda.
