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: Why I'm not a 'South Park Conservative'

Steve Brenneis opines:

Uh-oh, are you going to call Michelle Malkin a grumpy old man too? A couple of excellent points:

"And let's face it: If Teresa ("I'm cheeky!") Heinz Kerry had delivered Mrs. Bush's First Lady Gone Mildly Wild routine, social conservative pundits would be up in arms over her bad taste and lack of dignity."

"The First Lady resorting to horse masturbation jokes is not much better than Whoopi Goldberg trafficking in dumb puns on the Bush family name. It was wholly unnecessary."

"Giving the Hollyweird Left the last laugh is not my idea of success."
Hmm. I seem to recall someone else making those points earlier. Oh, wait. That was me!
