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.

Dialing for Dollars

(Fox News) - Hillary Clinton's top advisers told supporters on a conference call Wednesday that the campaign needs more money to fight off attacks following the senator's performance in a debate Tuesday night.

The Hill reports that when senior strategist Mark Penn said that Mrs. Clinton was "unflappable" during the debate — one caller countered that she had "lost her footing" and one said she "rolled her eyes" at one of the senator's answers.

Many callers criticized moderators Brian Williams and Tim Russert — one saying, "the questions were designed to incite a brawl" and that their moderating was "an abdication of journalistic responsibility."

Another caller said that Russert "should be shot."
