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.

Viagra threatens Limbaugh plea deal

From CNN:

WEST PALM BEACH — Rush Limbaugh could see a deal with prosecutors in a long-running prescription fraud case collapse after authorities found a bottle of Viagra in his bag at Palm Beach International Airport. The prescription was not in his name. Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours Monday at the airport after returning from a vacation in the Dominican Republic.


I find this behavior quite shocking coming from a conservative Christian mouthpiece such as Mr. Limbaugh. Isn’t Rush three times divorced? Why would a single man of such standing among conservative Christians need Viagra? And returning from the Dominican Republic, huh? Down there on business, I presume?

Doesn’t he practice the moral standards he aligns himself with in his professional work?

Further, does the sacred institution of marriage mean anything to him?

Again, I’m simply shocked.

What’s next, Ann Coulter seen buying condoms at Duane Reade?
