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: Buchanan sees 'war' within conservatism

Steve Brenneis opines:

I don't find myself agreeing with Pat Buchanan all that often, but he is spot-on in this interview. Conservatism as an organized political force is dead. Surprisingly, it wasn't killed by liberals, it was killed by the neo-cons. One point I disagree with Buchanan on would be his contention that the Bush Presidency was hijacked by the neo-cons. I would submit that Bush is a neo-con, making it difficult to envision him hijacking his own Presidency.
