Yet another Gate

I noticed this entry from Dr. Reynolds headlined, "PROFLIGATE BORROWING AND SPENDING," and, as with all other Washington-grade scandals, the first thing that came to mind was that someone must have started labelling the wealth-spreadin'-around grift being conducted on us as "Profli-Gate."

Much as I hate the endless -Gate suffixing of everything, this one fits pretty well.

Yeah, I know--but it's an exhausting pace that I simply cannot maintain.

I await breathlessly the scandal involving two interns, three bananas, $400 million in cash, a lobbyist or thirty, and the CEO of a fencing company. Which would be...


Wait for it...

One hopes that this won't also involve the SECDEF and a noted multibillionaire computer magnate, or else we'll have GatesGatesGate-gate.

Achh. Throw in illegal importation of reptile skins for military apparel and add GatorGaiterGate.

Uh-oh--it appears a floodgate has opened...

Of course, if it lands at the State level, and there's fishing involved, we'll end up with StateBaitGate.

Okay, ENOUGH! I'm getting very angry now! Yes, that's right, it's Irategate.

A little patience please? Or we'll end up with WaitGait. Which is suppose is better than WeightGait, which is a kind of waddle.

Or RalphWaiteGate, which is a kind of Walton.
