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.

RFK Jr. Unreality

From Jonathan H. Adler, a contributing editor of National Review Online:

For months leading up to the 2004 election, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lambasted the Bush administration for despoiling the environment and lying to the American people. Now Kennedy is at it again, but the Bush administration is not his only target. He has cast his net more broadly this time, indicting the media for aiding and abetting the Bush administration’s supposed misdeeds and fostering a “gap . . . between America’s values and those of its government.” Yet, as before, his critique is not particularly compelling.
