(A). And one of the highlights of my life was driving 50 miles to vote for Stephen Twigg in 1997, then seeing the expression on the oleaginous git Portillo's face when he lost.

"Oleaginous"

That's exactly the word I used to describe him, too.

what does that mean then?
does it involve "oily" and "gin" cos i could see how they could be applied to him

You used "Oily", surely.

I score more points for "Oleaginous", mostly through being able to spell it.

I think.

I was speaking about him the other day. I know more than one word for unctuous, you know :p

And you personify them all.

You mean when he showed commendable dignity and grace in defeat?
