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.

NY Post

Even before the end of his disastrous presidency, Jimmy Carter was discredited as a political figure worthy of serious attention. Now he spends his time publicly bad-mouthing anyone who has the temerity to disagree with him.

Carter's latest screed, like the rest of his pious pronouncements, does exactly that.
