Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Liberal Outrage

(Fox News) - Actor Sean Penn's recent trip to Venezuela to pal around with President Hugo Chavez has even some Hollywood liberals upset.

Columnist Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that one major producer who asked not to be identified — and who is a big liberal and Democratic supporter — said, "It's no secret that Sean is very left-wing, even in a town where liberal or even radical politics have long been common. But as much as many people here despise President Bush, a lot of us think this trip to Venezuela by Penn was wrong. Danny Glover did it too... It isn't the proper thing and only gives ammunition to conservatives who like to point to Hollywood as being anti-American."
