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.

Duty, Honor … Reelection?


Conduct unbecoming senators.

National Review Online


Senate Democrats led by Majority Leader Harry Reid took to the Senate floor for an all-night pajama party of antiwar slogans and calls to bring our troops back home. What’s discouraging is not the spectacle itself, but the short memory — and even shorter vision — of the senators of both parties now calling for an immediate — and dangerous — withdrawal from Iraq.

There must be an official style book at NRO. Every one of their pundits says the same thing using the same words. Just once, I'd like one of them to come out from behind the demagoguery and tell us exactly what is so dangerous about hauling our butts out of Iraq.
