        I've actually been meaning for a while to posit that -gate is one of the biggest legacies of any president. No scandal seems immune to it (e.g. Bridge -- nm - The Zorking Dead Oct 14, 18:08
        
        I think the first joke I saw about it referenced the "WorfDorf scandal" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 17:01
