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.

By Bertrand M. Gutierrez
Winston-Salem Journal

U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-5th, is refusing to tape a debate Wednesday with her Democratic opponent, Roger Sharpe, unless reporters are barred from the broadcast studio.

Jim Longworth, the debate moderator, said yesterday that he agreed to Foxx's request. The debate will be broadcast on the program Triad Today on Sunday, two days before Election Day.
