We luckily avoided frequent use of the word "plamegate" for the Plame/Wilson CIA leak affair. However, where the Americans are learning, Europeans are picking up stupid habits.
Two observations in the wild just today:
The Guardian calls the controversy over British Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith receiving taxpayer money for his wife's secretarial work "betsygate" on the online frontpage.
Dutch Prince Johan Friso, second in line to the throne, has renounced the throne to marry the woman he loves, Mabel Wisse Smit, after scandals have emerged about her past affairs. The scandal is widely called "mabelgate." Ugh.
