Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

RE: Germany's Cardinal Ratzinger elected pope

Steve Brenneis opines:

I noticed this is an AP article, even though it is presented in a Christian publication.

Get ready, the left and their accomplices in the MSM will do everything in their power to marginalize this Pope as an extremist. He has preached against homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia, and all forms of moral relativism. The homily he gave at John Paul II's funeral was a clear indication that he has no intention of changing his views, yet the conclave elected him anyway.

Additionally, he received 115 of 119 votes. Again, the left and their pals in the MSM will be unable to claim that he stole the election or that the conclave bowed to special interests.

I expect to see liberals in a full-fledged snit over this for quite some time to come. It might even be fun to watch.
