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: BUSH TWINS CUT SHORT MIDEAST TRIP

Steve Brenneis opines:

I have a question.

During the campaign last year, John Kerry and his daughter took a beating in the ring of public opinion over her appearance at some function wearing a see-through dress and no bra. I thought it pretty inappropriate at the time, but I also thought a whole lot was being made of very little (no pun intended).

I'm not sure where Andy got this picture, but the Bush twin on the right (I can never keep them straight) is wearing something no less revealing and I haven't heard anything about it.

What's the deal? Granted, young Miss Bush is far more attractive than young Miss Kerry (was that her name?), but is that all it takes? Or is it that the Bush machine is far better at spinning away offspring nipple faux pas than the Kerry machine was?

Inquiring minds want to know.
