Tomorrow's gonna be big. We need a single title for this debacle.

Republicans would call it "simplifying the message."

1. Treasongate, it works
and has a nice ring to it.

Of course wilsongate also has a nice ring to it.

How about dodgy reporting (thanks to the brits for it)

2. Wilsongate sounds better.
I was thinking Rovegate since he may be the perpetrator but it may not be right.

6. I think it's going to have to be non-judgemental
The press won't use the titles you suggest.

10. You're correct, but the underground often names things...
...that defy description.

This is an effort in that direction.

12. I can't believe they didn't care about protecting us
Edited on Tue Sep-30-03 04:26 AM by Must_B_Free
and all the work and unrepeatable time she had into her cover.

How could they throw that all away, when were at war, no less?

It is inexcusable. Spin this as they might, the fact is that Novak wrote what he wrote, we can all read.

They don't give a flying fuck about the safety of americans or combatting WMDs.

I like the ring of treasongate, but if its already been used, then traitorgate it is, I guess.

13. I like Traitorgate. Evil-doers are "Traitorgaters."
Sounds better than "Treasongaters."

Traitorgaters, Traitorgaters,
sis boom bah.
etc.

15. You know that little annoying pop up

Do you want to always trust content from Gator? (the spyware folks)

That could be modified..."Traitor-Gater" with a picture of the white house and/or GWB..

No one "trusts" Gator :evilgrin:
