Now Democrats want to prosecute the leakers of "Intimigate" as traitorous miscreants, while the White House wants Shallow Throat outed and ousted as a fink. The Kafka-esque danger: If plumbers are successful, the government will wake up as a giant clam.

فضيحة إنتيميغيت
"Intimigate" is the semi-official name of the scandal. The word is fashioned after "Watergate," the Mother of All Scandals.
This one is called "Intimigate" because it is about the white House practice of intimidating people who had the courage to tell the truth about Iraq. Take a look here:
