And the winner of the Name the Scandal Contest is . . .
The Gonzales Eight Massacre, by Thomas Healy (with an assist from me inserting "eight" to match the rhythm of "Saturday Night Massacre")
First Runner Up: Eight Prosecutors Ousted by Eric Garber (again with an assist from me changing "men" to "prosecutors" because two of the fired prosecutors are women)
Honorable Mention: GOP for "Gonzales' Ousted Prosecutors" by Trevor Morrison (clever and catchy but ineligible because the mainstream media would never actually call a scandal by an acronym that implicates an entire political party).
Consolation Prize for Most Dogged Effort goes to Octopus Grigori for the following entries:
Pink Slip Pickle [or Prosecutor Pink Slip Pickle]
The Wrath of Miers [or The Wrath of Harriet]
The War on Justice
D.O.J.-gate
Thanks to everyone for playing. Be sure to refer to "The Gonzales Eight Massacre" constantly until it catches on.
