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.

In Disservice to America

By Lisa Fabrizio
The American Spectator


William Jefferson Clinton has been on the receiving end of more magnanimity from George W. Bush than he has any reasonable right to expect. Ignoring the history of insults and slights his family has suffered at the hands of his predecessor, President Bush has repaid this ill-treatment with a large dose of Christian charity.

And what has the president received in return for this largesse? Much as he did when he was actively dodging the draft in the '60s, Bill Clinton has taken to traveling the world denouncing our country's military efforts, recently calling our handling of Iraq "a big mistake." Worse yet, his remarks were made mere miles away from where U.S. troops are fighting and dying in defense of liberty.
Yours truly opines: Clinton should be ashamed (and he would be ashamed if he had a conscience.) I guess if you're an ex-Democrat President like Clinton and Carter, that gives you the right to go around the world bashing our country... Nice going, guys.
