one word [mud]

(ref: here)

In the 22nd century, politicians finally became honest; as a result, politics became a sport.

And political science became some kind of variant of commentating.

Applicants for positions as low as treasurer were expected to have at least an agent.

Completely new areas of style, perfume, music, and expression developed around this sport.

Outfits depicting the newest political party, and their associated kind of mud, were displayed in their own magazines.

Television stations absorbed this in stride, devoting new stations to variations on mud-slinging (such as "mud-week").

And mud-slinging finally became an art-form.

An element of satire was introduced when the Olympics, following in stride, added several new sports to their itinerary.

This created the opportunity for pseudo-politicians; these were athletes bred, not for being statesmen, but for mud-slinging.

Many of the politicians actively running for office and incumbents quit, training for their potential Olympic acceptance.

Those that remained in office were committed to actually holding to the highest of standards.

And mud-slinging was no longer associated with actual politicians.
