It ought to be "Uraniumgate," not "Wilsongate" should it not?

What's in a name? Everything: The death tax, the no child left behind act etc.

Uraniumgate is much more damning in my humble opinion.

1. Radioactive treason emmanating from the White House

2. It would have, if the media had actually hit on that story

as it is, they didn't bother with Wilson until the WH retaliated for his criticisms by outing his wife. So, the big (i.e., triggering) scandal is the retaliatory leak.

Besides "Uraniumgate" is simply too hard for your current newsreaders to wrap their lips around. Inevitably someone would say "Urinegate" or something equally stupid, and the Beavis and Buttheads out there would start tittering and miss the broadcast entirely. :) <god know what horrors they would make of "Nigergate.">

I think it's good to bring to the fore the fact that this WH likes to go after people personally simply for doing their jobs or for speaking their minds. Putting Wilson's name on it will remind the public of that.
