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.

Cynthia's Condemnation

Fox News

Georgia Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is condemning what she calls "some unfortunate remarks," including anti-Semitic slurs made by supporters after her loss to challenger Hank Johnson last week, but claims the men who made them were not formally associated with the campaign.

McKinney calls the men "errant individuals at and near my campaign office," but neglects to mention that the men were part of a security detail that escorted McKinney in and out of the office that night.

Congresswoman McKinney denounced the racist remarks and proceeded to name Jews she admires, including members of the Israeli military who refuse to take part in what she calls the "occupation of Palestine."
