I've seen this effect latley on some commercials and for the MLB playoffs. The effect makes it look as though the camera is looking through a dirty window. The "window" des not move it's just a static layer but it creates a cool effect. I've seen it where there is some water rolling down the "window pane" as it were...cool look.

Take either:
1. Dirty Glass/muck/anything
or
2. Footage of water dripping on a solid color
Place it above what you want to look 'dirty', and play with your blending modes (hit V to enable your arrow tool, then hold shift +or- to toggle) until you acheive what you want. Its pretty easy.
Videocopilot.net has a good tut on how to insert a window, but it also shows you how to muck one up!

1) Waterdrop running down a window.
Here is a post of an earlier question for a water drop on an apple, sub in you layer of what's seen thru the window/glass for the apple.
Basically it's CC Blobbylize on a dupped copy, referencing as a Blob Layer, a recomposed animated mask (drop shaped, can be many) on a White Solid. Add a little drop shadow and you get a convincing waterdrop/teardrop.
