Do all your papers still use the phrase from the Nixon days ....gate, Watergate, Dianagate, Lewinskigate, every crisis is something gate I'm fed up with it. Millennium Gate has a ring to it though.

We don't have a claim to Dianagate, I think the royal family does.

Richard,

Some of the current "gates" of the Clinton years have been zippergate (Monica, Paula, Gennifer, Kathleen, etc), filegate (the FBI files matter), travelgate (firing the White House Travel Office staff). I recall a Koreagate, but don't remember the details. But of course, there's a lot of "I don't remember" running around our country these days.

And add to that the "Bloodgate" - the company which used Arkansas prisoners to supply tainted blood to Canadian Red Cross and caused Hepatitis C to thousands (literally). Bet you haven't heard of that one down there. Vince Foster (WJC good friend) was associated with the company and guess who was Governor at the time.
