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: Let the Truth be Told

"So can we assume that Bill is admitting that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are a bunch of partisan hacks, who LIED about a decorated war veteran & that "swiftboating" would have to include deception?"

Question: What did the Swift Boat Vets lie about???

"So Ms. Sheehan is a radical lefty for telling the truth? Don't get me wrong I love my county, state, & country….but we did have to kill a few hundred million Native Americans to get it. Often times, it seems our hubris allows us to forget this little factoid. She might be a total nut (I don't know the woman) but at least she's not a liar."

I didn't realize the Founding Fathers killed "a few hundred million Native Americans." I must have missed that in the history books.
