50 Slimiest Movie Politicians
The votes are in and have in no way been ▨tampered with... Warning: SPOILERS
Bob Rumson (The American President)
The Politician: Republi🐲c♐an presidential hopeful Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss) looks a little old and crumpled when he is compared to his Democrat rival, the popular, dreamy, "above average dancer" current President Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas).
Slimiest Moment: Rumson seizes his opportunity when Shepherd begins romancing environm💧ental lobbyist Ellen Wade (Annettee Bening).
Delivering a speech in which he refers to Wade a🐠s the "hired gun of an ultra-liberal action committee" Rumson makes things really personaꦍl when he implies the relationship is detrimental to Shepherd's 12-year-old daughter.
Donald Segretti (All The President's Men)
The Politician: Bending the rules here slightly,💧 as Donald Segretti wa𒊎sn't a politician.
He was a political operative and the head coordinator of "dirty tricks" for Richard Nixon's pre-Watergate Presidential caꦆmpaign.
In All The President's Men , a nervy, stripy-knit wearing Sergretti is portrayed b♒y Robert Walden.
Slimiest Moment: As Segretti wasn't involved in the illegal, morally bankrupt fest of Watergate, he almost gains ou♉r sympathy when Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) is interrogating him oꩵver a cup of coffee.

That is until he believes he's d🎃one nothing wrong in distributing forged campaign literature and reveals he did worst things in student electꦿion campaigns.
The term he uses for his dirty ta﷽ctics is "ratfucking".
Mike Morris (The Ides Of March)
The Politician: Mike Morris, Governor of൲ Pennsylvania and a Democratic presidential candidate.
His popularity is on🔴 the rise thanks to his squeaky clean image, h♐is star junior campaign manager Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling) and the fact that he played by the king of suaveness Mr George Glooney.
Slimiest Moment: Unfortunately Morris doesn't completely🎶 live up to his clean cut persona thrown about on his campaign trail.
He sleeps with Molly (Evan Rachel Wood), a youthful intern from his campaign, causing her to become pregnant.
Councillor Bill Heslop (Muriel's Wedding)
The Politician: Full 🅰of himself, Hawaiian shirt wearing Councillor Bill Heslop is not only incredibly corrupt, abusing his town connections, taking and receiving bribes but he is also a very nasty, psychologically abusing family man to booꦑt.
Slimiest Moment : Bill bullies and humiliates his ඣwhole family, branding them "useless no-hopers" while out dining with Japanese business associates.
He then invites his mistress to to join them, unsubtly flaun💯ting their obvious relati𝔉onship.
Dr Stephen Fleming (Damage)
The Politician: British cabinet minister Dr Stephe💛n Fleming (Jeremy Irons) has it all: aꦏ successful career and a loving family.
The sensible everyman puts all this on the line however when he engages in an affair with his son's girlfriend, the seductive and my𒅌sterious Anna (Juliette Binoche).
Slimiest Moment: Predictably it all goes horribly wrong for Fleming and eventually he is left all alone, still꧟ consumed by a woman who ruined his career, tour his family apart♓ and indirectly killed his son.
He stews in his own sliminess staring at a blown-up picture of Anna in🎐 his apartment. Creepy.
Jafar (Aladdin)
The Politician: Jafar is🐎 the Grand Vizier to the Sultan💝 of Agrabah.
Power h🧔ungry and far from satisfied with his current position he consistently schemes ways to overthrow the Sultan with his foul-mouthed talking pet parrot.
He also happens to be an evil sorcerer to boot.
Slimiest Moment: Bꦯeing pure evil means Jafar brings plenty of slimy moments to the film but his worst are probably when he is leering over the Sultan's daughter and Aladdin's girl Jasmine and demanding the Genie to make her fall in love with him.
Senator Vernon Trent (Hard To Kill)
The Politician: Trilby wearing, bribe taking, catch-phrase welding Senator Vernon Trent (William Sadler) adds murderous destruction to his list of crimes when he takes on Hard to Kill Detective Mason Storm (Steven S🔯eagal) after he is secretly v🍸ideotaped completing one of his dirty deals.
Slimiest Moment: Trent's campaign commercial in which his rolls out his trad🔯e mark quip: "And you can take that 🐷to the bank."
Never fear however, our man Storm is even wittier:✱ "I'm gonna take you to the bank, Senator Trent. To the blood bank!" Hurrah.
Michael Brinn (Divorcing Jack)
The Politician: Michael Brinn (Robert Li⛎ndsay) is a charismatic war hero and candidate running for Prime Minister in Norther𝔉n Ireland.
He possesses strong public support since he was ☂a victim of a terrorist bombing in which he suffered 3♔0% burns.
Slimiest Moment: Several of Brinn's dirty little secrets are threatened to be let loose when a tape of him discussing his crimes is unwittingly ♔sold to a priest: it turns out Brinn planted the bombs in the terrorist𝕴 attack that he claimed to be a victim of.
Bob Alexander (Dave)
The Politician: Ambitious White House Chief of Staff Bob Alexander (Frank Langella) convinces president look-a-like Dave to assume to the lead🤡er of the country's position when the real Presid൩ent slips into a coma.
Alexander then sets out on a scheme to work himself into the hot sea🅘t.
Slimiest Moment: Alexander sinks pretty low when he falsely implicates the Vice President in a savings and loan fraud but it's when Dave becomes uncontr🌠ollable he really gets nasty.
In a mad rant he claims he could kill Dave because he's no🥀t the president, he's "an ordinary person."
George W. Bush (Fahrenheit 9/11)
The Politician: George W. Bush, real life 43rd President of the United States and former Governor of Texas, famous for leading Ameri🐓ca through 9/11 and announcing and initiating the global "War on Terror".
Liberal political commentator Michael Moore paints a very grim picture of Bush in Fahrenheit 9/11 , implicating him in election fraud, exploring his connections to the bin Laden fam♌ily and alleging he actively induced a climate of fear in America via the mass media.
Slimiest Moment: Whe🍌n Bush's Chief of Staff informs him the second plane and has hit the Twi🍎n Towers a Brush continues with his photo opportunity, reading 'My Pet Goat' while Moore's narration lists the President's possible failures leading up to the attack.
