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.

Sheehan returns: "peace mom" back in Central Texas

Cindy Sheehan is back in town.

After flying in from Jordan on Saturday night, Sheehan led a day of anti-war protests that culminated in an afternoon march in heat exceeding 100 degrees from the site of Camp Casey I to a checkpoint outside President Bush’s ranch. The president visited Sunday with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

About 40 protesters joined Sheehan, many toting signs that read “The War is A Lie” and “Bush Betrayed Our Troops,” while Sheehan carried a sign asking “For What Noble Cause?”

The march followed a short protest at the Crawford Peace House, where about 50 people gathered to voice their displeasure about Israel’s attacks in Lebanon.

***Yawn***

I'm wondering why no one is demanding an end to Sheehan's "career" when she said a week earlier, almost word-for-word, the same thing that Mel Gibson said in his tirade.
