Your Attention Please: "-ghazi" to Replace "-gate" in Naming Future Scandals and Cover-Ups (vanity)
May 10, 2013

Posted on 05/10/2013 2:45:52 PM PDT by jiggyboy

WHEREAS the root of the Watergate scandal and cover-up was the desire of a sitting President to be re-elected, and

WHEREAS the Watergate scandal and cover-up ultimately led to the impeachment and resignation of that sitting President, and

WHEREAS The Washington Post, a member in good standing of the Mainstream Media, initiated the investigations leading to that impeachment and resignation, and

WHEREAS the Mainstream Media continues, nearly forty years later, to regularly and publicly congratulate itself with an unwritten rule that scandals and cover-ups across all spectra of seriousness, malfeasance, and scope, without exception, shall be described with the suffix "-gate", and

WHEREAS the root of the Benghazi scandal and cover-up is the desire of a sitting President to be re-elected, and

WHEREAS nobody was left to die in Watergate, the Benghazi scandal is far worse a scandal and cover-up, and

WHEREAS it has come to pass that even MSNBC had a guest today who dared to talk about the impeachment of the sitting President,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these facts, it shall henceforth be more appropriate for the names of cover-ups and scandals to end with the suffix "-ghazi", and, when phonetically appropriate and descriptive, and for the prefix shall begin with "B" and/or end with "N".

Fast and Furious = Gun-ghazi Birth Certificate = Birth-ghazi Solyndra et al = Green-ghazi College records = Transcript-ghazi White House tours cancelled = Tour-ghazi Sequester-related duplicity = Sequest-ghazi

etc.

I thank you for your consideration.

Benghazi-ghazi is a bit clunky, otherwise I can go for it.

If you use “Reggie Love-ghazi”, it almost sounds obscene.

I second the motion. This is so much worse than Watergate it defies comparison.

A disgraced administration which is now a massive liability internationally. A disgraced president which half the nation clings to so bitterly no matter what he does (or fails to do). Yellow “journalists” who are complicit in denying, obfuscating, and ignoring high crimes and misdemeanors. And a vast entertainment industry which somehow has become our intelligentsia, celebrating each and every outrage.

I submit to you, sir, that we have indeed become Amerighazi.

SUPERIOR idea!

However, you need to make one small correction - Nixon resigned before articles of impeachment were started in the House.

Could be we so lucky again?

Or, will we have to go the whole impeachment route again only to see the dimocratic senators place party loyalty over their personal oaths and duties to the Republic?

Doh!

I saw a thread earlier today where some Senator said there’s no way this Senate would vote to impeach. That could only happen after the 2014 elections.
