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.

Poor Bruce

Hey, I'm far from pissed about this. I think it's hilarious! 'Screw the Boss, but Clay Aiken's where it's at! I love me some American Idol!' It's a good thing that 'liberals' run the entertainment business. What would we do otherwise? It's a scary thought.

Your classification of Springsteen as an "American icon" is highly subjective at best. All his best work was twenty years ago.

Hmm, how to respond... How about 'Don't think so' and 'Wrong'?

Sprinsteen didn't just endorse and campaign. He was involved in some of the worst of the hate America, hate Bush rhetoric before during and after the campaign. Congress has no business honoring someone who spews that kind of venom.

Really? 'Hate America,' you say? Got some quotes from Springsteen to back up those mighty inflammatory accusations, Mr. Dramatic?

To be serious for a moment, I'm pretty sure that Bruce isn't losing any sleep over this. Sorta like Mel Gibson probably didn't lose any sleep over his Democrat-led 'snub' (which I'd like to see some proof of as well... I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I just don't remember that one).

By the way, anybody know why the NC Republican Party would choose Clay Aiken for their ticket raffle? Are 'Claymates' generally Republicans? By the way, before being an overnight sensation on TV, Mr. Aiken was a teacher at one of those evil old government run schools. Considering that he's a registered Democrat, he's obviously been brainwashed by his liberal environment and hardly worthy of a Republican endorsement.
