1. I think it's already been named "masturgate"

Read that on Eschaton, I believe.

2. I'm tired of the "-gate" suffix.

Call it the goddamn Republican child-molestation scandal. In 80-point type. All caps.

11. The PageGate CoverUp

It's not about the perv, it's about the coverup by the leadership. They knew. They did nothing, and tried to cover it up. That's the real outrage. We should be asking every repub representative whether a) they knew about foley, and b) if so, why did they look the other way? Oh, and c) do they still support the republican leadership?

13. I think MasturGate is from HobbitFoot on Daily Kos

MasturGate
by Hobbitfoot
Sun Oct 01, 2006 at 09:51:37 AM PDT

ABC News has full text of Rep. Mark Foley's IM exchange with the unidentified 16-year-old male page. Details include Foley questioning the 16-year-old about how often he masturbates, what technique he uses, how long his penis is, and so forth.

The boy's identity is protected and hopefully will remain so. Foley has already resigned and may face prosecution. SO . . . why revel in schadenfreude? As others have pointed out, there is far more to this story than one Representative's fall. There's plenty of disgrace to go around (New York Times: GOP Aides Knew in Late '05 of E-mail).
