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.

The Hsu Fits

(Fox News) - Rhode Island Democratic Congressman Patrick Kennedy says he is not returning $6,600 in contributions from embattled fundraiser Norman Hsu — who has bankrolled many party leaders and is currently a fugitive. Kennedy's chief of staff says the congressman is following all the rules and there is no indication Hsu's contributions were illegal.

But several top Democrats have said they will return Hsu's money or donate it to charity — among them Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Kerry — and the congressman's father, Senator Edward Kennedy.
