Name the Cunningham-ADCS-Wilkes Corp.-Group W scandal
I'm leaning toward CunningScam, but I'm a consensus builder so I'd appreciate your input.

2. I don't know. This whole Pub thing is getting sooo BIG, it's
sounding like it has to include a whole lot more than the Duke-ster!

I swear, there's a new scandal, or at least a new link to an old one, EVERY DAY!

I think we're going to have to think of something a lot bigger, maybe like the "Red Wing Scandals"! It sure seems like the majority of the "Red" Party are involved!

6. "Top Gun" has real potential, in my humble opinion.
Hmmm. Top Gun. It has a distinctly nice ring to it.

7. Since Cunningham always advertised himself as...
... the basis for Tom Cruise's movie character, "Top Gun," it ought to figure in there somewhere.

I thought about "Flopped Gun," but that doesn't quite get to the heart of it, does it? Now, he was, indeed, a "Hired Gun," but that's also a little confusing. In English slang, being hung is to be "topped," so maybe he's now "Topped Gun." :) He was a real pig at the trough, so he could be "Slop Gun."

Or, maybe, the "Top Gun" was just a "Pop Gun" all along. :P

Cheers.

8. Dude, seriously? The basis for--?? Okay. Well, I did know about
his pilot's career. Interesting. Top Gun. I'll pass it around.

4. How about just "Wilkes"?
Like "Enron" or "Watergate," it needs a simple name. The big ones have tiny names, to encompass the depth of their devastation.

Plus, my sixth grade teacher's name was Wilkes and she was a deranged sociopath. So, the scandal sharing her name would be appropriate in my mind and a fun way for me to think of this mess.
