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: His Deranged Values

For whatever reason, Carter seems to be determined to capture the honor of being the left's biggest clown. He has already far surpassed Bill Moyers and Gore Vidal and is closing in on Michael Moore and Bill Clinton at a breakneck pace.

From the article:

In "The Real Jimmy Carter", his superbly scathing catalogue of the ex-president's accumulated folly, Steven Hayward notes that in Carter's hometown of Plains, Georgia, it was said of the prominent native son that after an hour you love him, after a week you hate him, and after ten years you start to understand him. More than a quarter century has passed since Carter was unceremoniously evicted from office. Some of us just want to forget him.
