List of scandals with "-gate" suffix

[cartesiandaemon]

I love wikipedia lists. Although I wish there was a list of scandals with a funny -gate suffix :)

[simont]

I was quite amused by their comment on Plebgate, 'This "-gate" scandal is noteworthy for actually involving a gate.'

(However, I respectfully disagree with Wikipedia that it was known even secondarily as 'Gategate'.)

LOL! I love those dry comments.

I doubt that was widespread, but I'm sure people try to tag "gategate" on any crisis it could possibly be appropriate for...

[steepholm]

I definitely heard "Gategate" at least once, though no doubt it was waggishly meant.

I'm just disappointed that it doesn't have 'Underwatergate' from the Perth America's Cup!
