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.

Kerry ripped for Iraq remark...

From Jennifer, a friend of mine:

You know, here's my thought on the whole subject: You have to wonder about the character of a man that would offend an entire military to stand firm on a botched insult. Why would you not simply stand up and say, "To our men and women of the military I sincerely apologize for the way I worded my joke and I certainly meant no dishonor to your service or your intelligence. My intention was to point out the President's broken policy, not to insult our military."

I mean after all, how many times have you apologized to someone who got offended over something that you meant no offense by? That's just called being considerate. So now on top of me thinking the man is a complete loser, I also can add rude and ill mannered. Even Mel Gibson had the intelligence to stand up and say he's sorry.
