Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

John Kerry Rips Into Joe Lieberman

Fox News

Most Senate Democrats are supporting liberal challenger Ned Lamont in the Connecticut Senate race, but avoiding attacks on colleague Joe Lieberman, who's now running as an independent.

But not John Kerry.

Kerry ripped Lieberman this weekend for "making a Republican case" on the war in Iraq. Kerry told ABC's "This Week" that Lieberman is "out of step with the people of Connecticut," saying, "To adopt the rhetoric of Dick Cheney, who has been wrong about almost everything he has said about Iraq, shows you just exactly why he got in trouble."

Lieberman called Kerry "an old friend," but dismissed his remarks as "just plain politics by somebody who has ambitions of his own."
