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.

RE: Bono, U2 hit sour note in move to cut their tax bill


Now THAT'S being hypocritical.


Maybe, but I would rather take them to task for their unapologetic Marxism.


Bono, the rock star and campaigner against Third World debt, is asking the Irish government to contribute more to Africa.


Of course he is. It puts him in the way of yet another shameless power-monger who finds personal satisfaction in stealing from others. And he does it in the name of charity. Now there's your hypocrisy.
