Commonly referred to on CNN in relation to the Obama presidential campaign, but never explained because journalists are to afraid too explain it. There is a good reason. Chicago politics are incredibly corrupt, dead people still vote, big businesses get "incentives", and friends of the politicians get jobs, money, cars ect. However bad this may sound, Chicago is the city that works, even its corruption works, surprisingly well actually; so much so that people make light of the dead vote, the jobs, and the dynasty like families that run the city. Chicagoans love it, because "Chicago Politics" have produced one of the best, most beautiful, and unique cities in the world where a poor man of mixed race, raised by a single parent can become a world icon.

Get the Politicship mug.A lying, unprincipled, selfless person whose dirth of self-respect compels him to desperately sell himself to any buyer. He derives all his self-respect second-hand from others, but he can never fill the bottomless pit where his ego belongs. He lacks serious convictions and has no heroes; he lacks the confidence and courage to hold and form his own opinions. He is not a man, but a mouthpiece of the fools whose approval he cherishes.
Example 1:

George Bush: "I will never support anything resembling a national healthcare system."

George Bush: "Now, a single payer, the government, will buy your medications!"
Observer: "Damn, just two years ago he said he didn't want government involved in healthcare. Did he really believe that, or was he just being a politician and saying that because that's what people wanted to hear at the time?"
