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.

Not at a Theater Near You?

Fox News

The controversial film "Death of a President" — about a fictional assassination of President Bush — tanked at the box office in its first weekend. The film played in only 143 theaters in the U.S. and Canada and took in just $282,000 dollars.

At least two national theater chains declined to show the film and some TV networks refused to run ads promoting it.
