Plot summary

The film follows the title character, California Senator Jay Billington Bulworth (played by Beatty), as he runs for re-election. After staying up for multiple days during a nervous breakdown, Bulworth takes out a murder-for-hire contract on himself. After his episode Bulworth can only tell the truth and, since he has nothing left to live for, begins an unorthodox political campaign, rapping and pointing out how little the people really matter to everyday politicians and touching upon such as racism, politicians playing the media, corporate-controlled government and even hints at campaign finance reform. Bulworth then takes off in the polls and decides to live. Unfortunately, he can't get the hit called off...

Quotes

Bulworth: All we need is a voluntary, free-spirited, open-ended program of procreative racial deconstruction. Everybody just gotta keep fuckin' everybody 'til they're all the same color.

Bulworth: :What is it exactly you're concerned about, Murphy?

Dennis Murphy: :I'm concerned that you stood up in front of three hundred people in a black church and told them that they were not a factor and never would be as long as we remain in the pocket of the insurance lobby! :I'm concerned that you went to a fundraiser in Beverly Hills and told various leaders of the entertainment industry that they make a lousy product, and since many of them also happen to be Jewish, you decided the PRUDENT thing to do would be to MOCK their Jewish paranoia! :I'm concerned that we are in an after-hours club in Compton on the eve of the most important event of the campaign swing, where God knows how much illegal activity is taking place and YOU are SMOKING MARIJUANA! :Now, Senator - I work for you. You call the shots. But I will be able to do my job so much better if you will just simply tell me ... what is this new strategy? Just tell me a little bit!

Bulworth exhales smoke into Murphy's face.

Bulworth: :Have a drink, Murphy. Live your life.

Angry black woman: :Are you sayin' the Democratic Party don't care about the African-American community? Bulworth: :Isn't that OBVIOUS? You got half your kids are out of work and the other half are in jail. Do you see ANY Democrat doing anything about it? Certainly not me! So what're you gonna do, vote Republican? Come on! Come on, you're not gonna vote Republican! Let's call a spade a spade!
Bulworth: :I mean - come on! You can have a Billion Man March! If you don't put down that malt liquor and chicken wings, and get behind someone other than a running back who stabs his wife, you're NEVER gonna get rid of somebody like me!
