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.

No wonder they're afraid of Brit Hume

I just woke up from watching the Democrats’ debate last Thursday, and I am rested and ready to report!

Someone needs to tell the Democrats to stop talking about their families. I know they're trying to demonstrate their “family values," but using actual, live human beings to illustrate the freakish ideas of the Democratic base just makes normal people uncomfortable.

When Chris Dodd was asked about gay marriage, he said he always thinks of his little daughters -- aged 2 and 5 -- and imagines them turning out to be lesbians, saying he would want them treated equally.

To prove his bona fides to the environmentalist nuts, Obama said: “We've also been working to install lightbulbs that last longer and save energy. And that's something that I'm trying to teach my daughters, 8-year-old Malia and 5-year-old Sasha."


Ann Coulter

This is classic stuff:


Edwards was asked who his “moral leader” was -- and he was stuck for an answer.

I had time to shout “Jesus” at the TV 20 times, exhaust myself, and have a sandwich before Edwards finally coughed up “mah lowrd." Even then it appeared that Edwards was not actually naming the Savior but exclaiming, “Mah lowrd, that's a tough question!"


Ann didn't mention the easy answer: Edwards probably forgot his name.
