True - Watergate maybe is a scandal of a larger scale, and true - a more descriptive tag could've been used, but the tag #cablegate was proposed by Wikileaks via their Twitter profile ( http://twitter.com/#!/wikileaks/status/8942910410072064 http://twitter.com/#!/wikileaks/status/8942910410072064 ), and everyone followed along. I think that they did it so everyone would't use the tag #wikileaks when they are referring to the US Embassy cables release but a separate one.
