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.

(Fox News) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he wanted to visit Ground Zero during his recent trip to New York in order to keep it from becoming — "a false idol like the Holocaust." MEMRI TV has released a clip of an interview with Ahmadinejad that aired on Iranian television two weeks ago: "We don't want them to turn this incident, in 20 years' time, into another false idol like the Holocaust, which they would use as a pretext to kill peoples, and prevent anybody from opening this [Pandora's] Box and examining what really happened in this incident. They might turn 9/11 into something sacred, and whoever does not accept it would be considered an infidel."
