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.

Opposing Clean Energy?

(Fox News) - The environmental group Greenpeace has launched a 30-second television ad criticizing Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy and Congressman Eilliam Delahunt — both Democrats — for their opposition to a proposed wind power farm on Nantucket Sound.

The ad says the two lawmakers are putting the selfish interests of wealthy homeowners on the sound ahead of the environment and the 80 percent of Massachusetts residents it says support the project.

Kennedy's family compound in Hyannisport is 6 miles from the proposed site. A Kennedy spokeswoman says the senator opposes the 25-square-mile wind farm for economic and environmental reasons. Delahunt's spokesman calls the ad divisive, saying environmentalists who support the project are trying to impose their will on the community.

Let me get this straight: Liberals like Ted Kennedy and Eilliam Delahunt have no problem using the power of the government to impose their will on all of us, and yet, they get their panties in a wad when Greenpeace run 30-second ads exposing Kennedy and Delahunt as hypocrites. I find that funny for some reason. :)
