Name the BFEE "gates".........
As we all know, the Clinton Administration was hounded for 8 years by "scandal after scandal." Neither Bill nor Hillary could fart without it creating a media swirl and scandal, all dubbed "...gate"

How many "gates" have there been regarding this administration? How many of them have been reported?

I will start. Plamegate.

7. Can't forget their first scandal : HITLERGate
If it weren't for the money that Grandpa Prescott made from funding the Third Reich, there wouldn't be a Bush Criminal Empire today.

Also, let's not forget where the term "gate" came from. Watergate itself was a scandal for the BCE, as Nixon was one of them from day one. It's even been speculated that the documents which were stolen in the Watergate theft contained evidence which tied Tricky Dicky and his minions to a certain event which took place 9 years previously in Dallas. :grr:

8. Medicaregate
When the Bushists gave their own party false numbers about what the program would cost to get their support.
