In 1998 "Bulworth", the brilliant political satire written, directed, produced by and starring Warren Beatty was one of the best movies of the year and deservedly so. Nominated for a Best Screenplay Oscar, WGA Award, PFS Award, Best Screenplay and Best Picture Golden Globe, CFCA Award. Winner of the Best Screenplay award of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Nominated for Best Actor Golden Globe for Warren Beatty, and Grammy Awards for the Best Soundtrack, "Bulworth" was a little crazy, daring, razor sharp, entertaining and - despite its wackiness - at moments painfully true. Beatty put his finger on the sore spot in (American) politics: money corrupts, as does power, and most often the two go hand in hand. Written off by some as "unrealistic" Beatty chose the only format that could work to bring the message home, without preaching: satire. By letting the story border on the absurd in places, by walking that very thin line between politically correct and politically incorrect he vented his frustrations about the state of politics - even the state of the nation. "Bulworth" is a highly intelligent, knowledgeable, provoking always entertaining roller coaster look into politics. Co-starring Beatty's friends, veteran actor Jack Warden and Paul Sorvino, Halle Berry, a insanely funny Oliver Platt and Joshua Melina and Don Cheadle. A must see!

That pretty much sums up American politics.
If he was real, he would have my vote.
