  Dirty Politics is not too obvious, is it?

  (Incidentally, I want to start seeing it used as a verb. As in: "The Prime Minister dirtypoliticked his way out of that particular quandary.")

  I think that "Dirty Politics" is it - so obviously it that Russlel should be offering prizes for 2nd and 3rd rather than first
