Watergate

I just noticed that the Watergate is still an operating hotel. I don't know, I guess when something is so frozen in time and history, you don't think of it as functioning anymore. Like Harper Lee, or women having pubic hair. Looking at the name, I realized how lucky we got that it was such a cool name, you know? Having "gate" at the end made it so easy to stick onto other scandals, the name really snaps right in there nicely. "Watergate." "Troopergate." "Whitewatergate." "Whothefucklettheslavesfreegate." And on and on. "Gate" is perfect. What if the break-in had been, for instance, at the Ritz? Then all of our scandals sound like crackers. Or, worse, Jewish! "Katrinaritz." "Nippleritz." "Seriously,wholettheslavesfreeritz." In a strange way, don't we owe Nixon a debt of gratitude for this?

I see there's also a Hotel L'Enfant in DC. Wouldn't it be great if that had been the hotel that got broken into, and our scandals were named after that? "Spyl'enfant", for instance. "Monical'enfant." Then after 9/11 we'd get to see the absurdity of dipshits in Congress screaming on the Senate floor that we have to officially change the names, we can't have our scandals named after surrender monkeys dammit!!!!! Thus follows of course "Trooperfreedom", "Whitewaterfreedom" etc etc. Woulda been worth watching, no?









"YES!!!! Thanks, crackahs!!"
