Well, the Olympic figure skating debacle has provided us a fresh coinage: Skategate. (which I kinda like)

And, recently, as mentioned in Jazzo's thread, we've had Enronomics, Enronitis, and Enronistic...
(soon to come...Enronics? Enronical?)

Opinions of Skategate? Any other new or recent words to add?

Well we're currently in the middle of 'Garbagegate'

See http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4355436,00.html

extract:
Under fire for his role in aiding an Indian businessman to purchase Romania's major steel plant, Mr Blair angrily dismissed the accusations as "Garbagegate."

He added: "It's not Watergate, it is Garbagegate. It's the biggest load of garbage since the last load of garbage, which was Enron."

Garbagegate

I like it! It gives a new twist to meaning of the --gate suffix. Non-scandal rather than scandal.
A whole new word unto itself really.
