NAME THE GATES: In honor of tonight, in valediction, let's try to remember them all -

[smalll]

As a Hillarite, I guess off the top of my head I do naturally remember more of Obama's than of Hillary's. PLEASE add to the list!

Hillary:
Shotgate (as in beer and shots.)
Snipergate
Tipgate

Obama:
Snubgate
Wrightgate
Arugulagate
Flagpingate
Fingergate
Pflegergate (or was that just Wrightgate, Part III?)
Rezkogate
Snubgate
Wrightgate

1. Obama: Grannygate

When he "threw his granny under the bus" in his race speech.

Good idea for a thread, btw.

[smalll]

27. Now that you bring it up, I think there were TWO Grannygates -

remember also when someone wrote an article about Obama's Kenyan grandmother, and he was accused of leaving her to languish in third-world poverty?

[XemaSab]

2. Bittergate

:P

[smalll]

6. Oh that was a big one!

We're coming up with a lot more Obama than Hillary though, there must be more Hillary ones we're forgetting. Did anyone ever call it Kazakstangate? Or Cryinggate? I don't want to start back-engineering gates here, trying to keep it authentic. :)

[XemaSab]

11. Shame-on-you-gate.

:P

[DerekJ]

3. sweetie-gate

[smalll]

14. Yep. Another one I missed. /nt

[smalll]

4. Also for Obama -

Bowlinggate. (How could I forget the 37?)

[MercutioATC]

5. Obama: "57Gate" - Clinton: "Cacklegate"

[writes3000]

7. Assassination-gate. How could you forget that one? n/t

[smalll]

8. Stuffgate. (One more for Obama.) /nt

[TahitiNut]

9. Fairytalegate, WhiteAmericansgate, MeMcCainSpeechgate ... (sigh)

:eyes:

[smalll]

13. I'll accept Fairytalegate and WhiteAmericansgate, but your last gate is WAY too back-engineered.

:hi:

[woolldog]

16. That reminds me of one: JesseJackson-gate

when bill compared O to JJ.

[oasis]

10. Auschwitzgate

:dunce:bama

[XemaSab]

12. and its close cousin, Buchenwaldgate

:P

[Cali_Democrat]

18. aka Ghostgate

[coyotespaw]

15. Ahem...

17. Good, but not exactly a full or exhaustive list of gates we're trying to build up here. And --

I've thought of another (for Hillary) -- what would it properly be called - Gasstationgate? Frenchvanillacappuccinofromamachinegate?

[Hardrada]

19. Crown Royalgate, Driver's Licensegate

[smalll]

23. We'll, I've already offered up Shotgate for your first there. You second reminds me though --

Passportgate! (Of course that was a Bush adminstration gate, rather than a Hillary or Obama problem.)

[Cali_Democrat]

20. Pillowgate

I can't remember if it was the Ohio or Texas debates, but Hillary offered Obama a pillow and just wondered if he was comfortable.

She was obviously attempting to mock the media coverage. She apparently got it from SNL.

[smalll]

21. How could we forget! AMBERCROMBIEGATE!

[Cali_Democrat]

22. Firstquestiongate

Hillary complaining that the media always asks her the first question in debates.

[smalll]

25. That's one. And I have another now on Hillary -- OBLITERGATE! /nt

[Cali_Democrat]

24. OMG I ALMOST FORGOT.......Xeroxgate

"It's not change you can believe in, it's change you can Xerox." - Hillary Clinton


aka Plagiarismgate

[smalll]

26. Good one! /nt

[mikehiggins]

28. Lets consider how many were created by the actions of the

candidates, and how many were created by the Repukes and the MSM.

You guys really do have to let it go, y'know? The race is over.

Now we are into the GE against McSame and the GOPukes, many of whom are BOTH sexist AND racist.

If you claim to be a Democrat you should either join up, or shut up.

[Oleladylib]

29. Mike..that's jes never gonna happen...HAGD!

[funflower]

30. Some gates are more important than others. Snipergate sent me running from the Clinton camp.

There are lies, and there are dumb lies. That was both.
