pulling a bulworth

A.k.a. bulworth

"Pulling a bulworth" is when a candidate starts saying what's on his mind, not caring what the public, media, or special interests think.

It's a reference to the movie "Bulworth" starring Warren Beatty. Bulworth is a senator running for re-election. Knowing that he is going to die in a few days, Bulworth stops caring what people think. He stops catering to special interests and starts saying what he actually believes. Although he often says offensive or politically incorrect things, it causes him to rise in the polls.
That candidate knows he is retiring this year. He's pulling a bulworth because he doesn't have to be re-elected.

Pulling a Schofield

To "Pull a Schofield", one has to take complete disregard for others feelings - especially close friends and family - in order to facilitate personal gain...thus screwing over your mates

A slight twist on this is the remark "classic schofield" where someone points out that someone has pulled a schofield, and another responds with "classic schofield" this is multi purpose
Will was caught 'Pulling a Schofield' this morning when he told Tom about Tims secret of cracking onto Toms sister. Tim had told him this in strict confidence.

Nikesh found out that Will had 'Pulled a Schofield' when he contacted his account to find out that Will had added himself to their suppliers list instead. Nik found this odd as they were good friends and colleagues.

Tim found Will cracking onto his mum while he was out of the room. He told Mike about this who responded 'Classic Schofield'
