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: "You Are!" "No, You Are!"

Strother -> "I should've remembered Steve and Tanya's last 'debate' when she regressed to elementary school after running out of party-line/Bush administration talking points."

When did wanting America to kick butt and win in Iraq become a political talking point? Doesn't that say more about you and your beliefs than it does mine? If you want to equate kicking butt and winning with Republicans and Bush, then I'm more than happy to accept that compliment. The question is what does that say for liberals and Democrats?

-> "Tanya, sometime you and I should have a conversation about some words and concepts we've mentioned here, like courage and strength - generally non-wussy things."

We're having a conversation right now about some words and concepts. I don't know what else you want me to say.
