Larry Vaughan (Jaws)
The Politician: Mayor of Amity Island🃏 Larry Vaughan enjoys wearing hideous nautical-themed blazers and insisting e🌳veryone gets in the water.
He also makes a habit of covering🉐 up shark attacks and stupidly putting lives at risk by refusing to close the Island's beach as it may ruin the summer💧 tourist season - his town's primary source of income.
Slimiest Moment: The Mayor goes on camera insisting that "a large predator that s꧑upposedly injured some bathers" has been caught and the beaches are still open for people to have a "wonderful time" without having had a thorough public necropsy of the dead tiger shark.

However his popularity begins to wain after his bad handling of several events, primarily the return🌃 of he-who-must-not-be-ღnamed.
Slimiest Moment: A threatened Fudge goes into denial and launches a smear campaign against hero boy wizard Harry and his mentor Dumbledore when♌ they claim that Voldemort has returned.

Slimiest Moment: Palpatine kicks off his rise up the political ladder by ♛ordering an invasion of Naboo as alter ego Sidious.
Then as Senator, he persuades the planet's Queen (Natal🅘ie Portman) to make a motion of no confidence in his rival th🧜e Supreme Chancellor Valorum, so he can ascend into his position.
It's all a bit much really.

Don't worry though, psychic schoolteacher Johnny Smith (Christopher Walken) 😼is on the case.

Slimiest Moment: Irving's entire screen time feels one long slime-fest as he asks Roth to help꧋ him "sell the solution" to theꦯ war on terror.
Extra slime points are earned for having his Time 𝓀Magazine front cover framed and hanging up on the 🅠wall.
Linton Barwick (In The Loop)
The Politician: Being the best political satire to grace the big screen in recent years, In The Loop is swimming with painfully funny character✨s running amok in both British and American political circles.
Winner of the slimy label however, is Linton Barwick, the U.S. Assistant Se𒈔cretary of State for Policy.
Barwick confidently strides around talking in riddles attempting to quietly intimat☂e those around him and keep them out of his business.
Slimiest Moment: Barwick baffles Malcom Tucker and Simon Foster when he exits the room with his parting hallow, faux-p⭕oetic phrase "All r✤oads lead to Munich."
In the words of Tucker (a su𝓡perb Peter Capaldi): "What the fuck does that m𝐆ean?"
Adam Lang (The Ghost)
The Politician: Ex Prime Minister Adam Lang may have theꦐ good looks and smoothness of a former James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) but he also has plenty of skeleton🌺s in his closet.

Slimiest Moment: When the former British Foreign Secretary Richard Rycart (Robert Pugh) accuses Lang of war crimes on national television, Lang lets his charismatic mask slip: narrowing his eyes at his TV set and ca💎lling Rycart a "cheeky fuck".
