Nadagate
Nadagate is a word used by many people to reflect the belief that there is (or should be) no genuine scandal about the Plame affair, where CIA agent Valerie Plame's name was allegedly revealed. The word was coined across the blogosphere, but was also recently used in print by New York Times opinion writer John Tierney (journalist).http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/16/opinion/16tierney.html

The word is a compound of the slang term 'nada' meaning 'of no importance', and the suffix 'gate' - applied in the popular media convention of appending scandals (particularly political scandals) since 'Watergate' with this word.
