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 Drug Smuggler Left Behind

President Bush was so buoyed by the warm reception he was given in Albania that he immediately gave all 3 million Albanians American citizenship, provided they learn Spanish. The offer was withdrawn when Bush found out most Albanians haven't broken any U.S. laws.

Bush keeps claiming he's dying to enforce the border, but he just can't do it unless we immediately grant amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens. I wonder if that worked on Laura Bush:

Laura: George, it's time you quit drinking.

George: OK, honey, let's discuss it over cocktails.

How about Bush enforce the border and then we'll discuss his amnesty plan?


Ann Coulter

Up until now, Ann has gone pretty easy on Bush. I guess his pugnacious retorts to his base have earned him the Coulter scorched earth treatment. Coulter's rhetoric usually just goes by me, but I found myself getting genuinely angry about the Feds' treatment of the two Border Patrol agents. I had read the story a while ago, but the media outlets kind of ignored it after the initial incident.

This ought to get very interesting.
