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.

Knife-at-throat sensitivity

Thus, NBC is celebrating Easter this year with a special edition of the homosexual sitcom "Will & Grace," in which a Christian Conservative cooking-show host, played by the popular singing slattern Britney Spears, offers seasonal recipes -- "Cruci-fixin's." On the other hand, the same network, in covering the global riots over the Danish cartoons, has declined to show any of the offending artwork out of "respect" for the Muslim faith.
