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: RE: Lie down with strippers, wake up with pleas

Here, Ann starts off with some even-handed reasoning regarding the Duke Lacrosse Team, the strippers they hired, partying high school girls in Aruba, and so on. But, as usual, she soon slithers toward her predictable dogmatic thesis that 'Liberals,' Bill Clinton, and Democrats are somehow behind every bad thing that happens in America.
Whether you like to admit it or not, Ann does have a point: some people shouldn't go into certain areas, and if you are a stripper going to a party where a bunch of young drunk college boys are, you better be prepared for something to happen. If you are in that line of work, you should know what the dangers are, and if you choose to still do it then that is on you. I have no sympathy for strippers; they get what they ask for.

Same if you are a young girl in a strange foreign land: don't get into cars with strangers after you have been drinking; common sense would tell you that.

As for the "Liberals,' Bill Clinton, and Democrats are somehow behind every bad thing that happens in America", they are the ones that have a more relax view on topics that most people would think are morally and ethically wrong. They say "let freedom ring", but leave it up to the conservatives to clean up their free spirit way messes.
