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.

POISON IN THE SYMPATHY WELL

From Real Clear Politics:

I haven't been following the Cindy Sheehan story as closely as some. I saw the Drudge item earlier in the week claiming she had changed her tune somewhat since her original meeting with President Bush and I've seen the pictures of her sitting with Joe Hagin and Stephen Hadley. And despite the support she's receiving from some of what I would call the 'unsavory elements' of the anti-war activist left, she still cut an enormously sympathetic figure in my mind. Until today, that is.
