>>We have a prime minister like that. He's a master of drama, overstatement, big words, inventing of enemies (or rather those who are attacking him for the good he did), even shedding a tear here and there to benefit the cameras. One of the popular sports here is to guess who will profit from the current smear campaign (and there are 2-3 a month). The favorite sport of his is, you see, mudslinging. His nickname on the forum here is "psychoswan".

Reality (the false TV reality) show is the style in fashion. I'm guessing anyway, I don't watch either (the political or the showbiz fake reality).
