Snappy names for the Attorney General scandal?
In this week's Top Ten Idiot Conservatives, number 8, EarlG laments that there is not (yet) a snappy name for the Attorney General scandal and solicits the help of DU in coming up with one. So... suggestions, anyone? All I can think of is a rather lame A. G.ate.

22. Domenigate
Domenici was the first to go out and buy a top-notch lawyer. So he should be honored with the "gate". As in "don't let the gate smack you in the ass on the way to prison".

23. A.G.-ony
You could do like the Navy does and just shorten and squish the words together (Commander, Pacific Fleet is COMPACFLT). So Prosecutor Firing Scandal is PROFIRESCAN. Sounds like some new Israeli weapons tech -- the Profirescan 5000.
