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.

The Bush administration has decided to give House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the same access to military aircraft for trips to her California district as was afforded to her predecessor after 9/11. But Pelosi is said by military sources to be interested in more — a larger plane capable of carrying more people non-stop to the west coast — and asking if it's ok to fly part of the Northern California Congressional Delegation to San Francisco in the next few weeks.

But a spokesman for Pelosi says she is only asking for what her predecessor had. Pelosi's also inquired about a military plane for the 152-mile trip to a Democratic party congressional conference in Williamsburg, Virginia last week. No plane was provided.
