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.

Enemy Within?

(Fox News) - One anti-war liberal Democrat is turning on members of her own party, calling on left-wing activists to go after moderate House Democrats, even if it costs the party the majority.

Activist Rabbi Michael Lerner has released the transcript of a private conference call with anti-war groups that included California Democratic Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey. She called on activists to go target what she called "the moderate Democrats who are holding up the whole thing."

She endorsed primary challenges and said "I'd hate to lose the majority, but I'm telling you if we don't stand up to our responsibility, maybe that's the lesson to be learned."
