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.

Revised Opinion?


Fox News

GOP Sen. John McCain, who upset some supporters by speaking at Rev. Jerry Falwell's Liberty University this year, now says he'd consider speaking at Bob Jones University in South Carolina — another conservative school he blasted in 2000 for its ban on interracial dating.

McCain tells The State newspaper in South Carolina that the school has made "considerable progress" since he ripped President Bush for speaking there during his presidential campaign six years ago.

At the time, McCain said if he were invited to speak he'd tell the university that its interracial dating policy "is stupid, it's idiotic, and it is incredibly cruel to many people."
