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: Rice to address Southern Baptists at N.C. convention

...trolling for '08 endorsements from pulpits across the nation, perhaps?

Doubtful. She has pretty unequivocally rejected the notion of seeking any higher office. The only trolling she might be doing is for face time on her way to becoming NFL commissioner.

Tomorrow in Greensboro, the boundaries between politics and religion will once again be blurred by a key member of the Bush Administration.

Are you saying political figures aren't allowed to participate in religious events? My SBC insider contacts tell me they had to put a pretty hard sell on her to get her to come.

But what's new?

True. She is carrying on in the grand tradition of Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, and Jimmy Carter.

I don't question Jimmy Carter's Christianity, I question his judgment.
