I'm Not a Crook




You Are Most Like Richard Nixon



Oh sure, you give people plenty of reasons to call you "Tricky Dick."

But you're actually quite diplomatic, even though you secretly hate your enemies.

nabob

From the Dictionary.com Feed (in right-hand column)

nabob \NAY-bob\, noun:
1. a native ruler in India in the Mogul empire; by extension, a person from India who made a fortune there
2. a very wealthy and prominent person; mogul


A phrase first attributed to Bill Safire, I remember Spiro Agnew calling the liberal media "nattering nabobs of negativity". It caught my eye, not because I agree with the characterization (I do) but because of the alliteration.
