"?-gate"

[Joel S. Berson]

Has the Rupert Murdoch/News Corp. scandal acquired a "-gate" name
yet?  Among other potential parallels -- perhaps unto the future
resignation of the British executive branch leader, David Cameron --
I note that Rupert Murdoch, Andy Coulson, Rebekah Brooks, and Les
Hinton (publisher of the Wall Street Journal and chief executive of
Dow Jones & Co ) have all denied knowledge of illegal activities
during their watches.  Although they have all apologized for illegal
acts that have been done, by others.
