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: Viagra threatens Limbaugh plea deal

I'm always amused when liberals try to portray Limbaugh as a spokesman for the Christian Right.

What looks like a duck and quacks like a duck is usually a duck. Besides, ask most right-leaning Christians what they think of Limbaugh's opinions. Sure — there are others, but he is a spokesman, like it or not.

Yep, nearly as shocking as discovering that Bono is a filthy rich party-boy at heart or that any of the rest of the Hollyweird "activists" are self-absorbed egoists with gigantic bank accounts who like to preach Marxist morality to the middle class.

No, those things aren't shocking. Bono doesn't try to hide the fact that he is 'filthy rich' or 'a party boy at heart.' (But, even knowing most all of the 'dirt' he has on him, he still appears to be a pretty good guy, a loving dad, and a devoted husband. Go figure.) And even your most favorite and outspoken 'Hollyweird activists' don't need to sneak someone else's bottle of Viagra around the world in their shaving kit or purse. They don't have to cover their tracks — or maybe more accurately, cover their sins — in order to continue to appeal to their mascots. (It appears that everyone has mascots, right, Steve?)
