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: Stupid Liberals (?)

You think the majority of voting Americans would actually agree with most of what Coulter has to say within her books?

What does that have to do with anything? That falls back on the silly notion that right and wrong are democratically derived. And I expect the majority would agree with the substance of what she says, although many would likely have issues with how she says it, just as you do. Face it, what she said about the 9/11 widows is accurate. What you and others don't like is the fact that she had the temerity to say it and, furthermore, that she didn't soft-peddle it.

What I'd like to know is why you and the other PC warriors aren't having vapors over the vitriolic bombast that people like Cindy Sheehan, Ward Churchill, Al Franken, Ted Rall, and others regularly throw around. Oh wait, you agree with them, I guess that's different.

Actually, most Americans don't even know what Ann said, on this topic or any other, simply because she's never been on American Idol or House or The Sopranos. Most Americans probably don't even know who Ann Coulter is. But of the minority of those who do and the even smaller minority of those who know what she wrote in Godless, I would wager real money that opinion is roughly evenly split.

Any 'liberal' operating in the mainstream media would know better.

That means exactly nothing. All this false outrage is generated by liberals in the MSM. The AP article that prompted my comment is an excellent example. They dug up comments from some third-rate nobody whose fifteen minutes of fame consisted of serving on yet another of the government's endless commissions that accomplished nothing but wasted a lot of taxpayer money. Then they went on to excerpt a number of Coulter comments, about half of which were taken completely out of context. The article is agit-prop, nothing more, nothing less.

Meanwhile, all the sound and fury is helping Ann's books sell like hotcakes. Yes, liberals are very stupid.
