I'm in, if I can just remember to spell -quiddick right.

as in, "Demoquiddick." maybe that's what we need to call certain intemperate-yet-audaciously strident party representatives...

I like the idea, except for the fact that the perpetrators of the original -gate scandal were all (mostly?) held accountable; heads rolled.
Meanwhile, Fat Teddy continues to grab tax dollars for his pet causes to this day.

I'm in for -quiddick. It's actually easy enough to spell. Plus q doesn't get used enough, time to make that letter work for its keep.

Lord knows, "-gate" was beat to death about twenty years ago. I'm not crazy about "-quiddick" on grounds of euphony, etc., but I'll vote for it just because it's not "-gate."

Another suggestion I saw back during Rathergate was "-palooza," which I think has some merit. "Demopalooza" nicely captures the probable tone of things during Dean's chairmanship, and it should resonate with the MoveOn segment of his target demo(palooza)graphic.

Since the tradition was to use a scandal that involved a president as material for the suffix, I am all for subsituting -sky for -gate. Memosky, Whitewatersky, Zippersky are much easier to say than with -quiddick.
