"CIA Leak Scandal" instead of "traitorgate"

[zippy890]

Lets frame this scandal to reflect how serious this is. 'Traitorgate' makes me think of a sports drink, or something cutesy, which diminishes what went on, which was WAY more serious than a few burglers breaking into the DNC.

I got the idea from reading an article from WAPO last week, which lead off with ' CIA-Leak Investigation...." - which sounds serious, and it is.

Putting 'gate' on the end of a word refers to watergate, and thats been way overdone in the media.

My 2 cents worth anyway.

1. I agree. Time retire all 'gates' I think.

2. I don't use "gate," and I don't use "leak." I use "traitor who blew the

cover of a covert operative and endangered our troops."
