Imagine a Bulworth come forth today

[Fumesucker]

I guessing a lot of DU has seen the movie, it stars Warren Beatty as a politician who finally tells the truth about what's happening behind closed doors. Someone who comes to the point of not giving a damn any more and decides to unload every dirty thing he knows, every back room deal, every quid pro quo.

It's a movie that's not only funny but sad and terrifying and I wonder if it would make any difference at all if a high level politician actually did it.

1. We can only hope. Another one you might remember... Remember Chance, the gardener?

3. I watched that on video...

There was kind of a party sort of thing going on at the time and I don't remember it very well though.

4. Both excellent movies -- a studio wouldn't make them, today

I suppose they'd have to hope for some kind of indie release, or cable, if they were trying to get made now...

2. It would be great!

5. If I remember correctly it didn't end well for him?

Plus was he really all that honest?

[Fumesucker]

6. Would you expect it to end well for anyone who did that?

Judging from the reactions of the people in the theater with me that day, yeah I think it was more accurate than not.

7. The pol would never get media coverage if s/he did. nt
