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.

Cash Flow

(Fox News) - Democrats have a reputation for owning Hollywood politically. But some Republicans are getting support from high profile people in the industry.

The Politico reports John McCain had received a total of about $391,000 as of late October from the likes of "CSI" producer Jerry Bruckheimer and executive Barry Diller — as well as actors Rip Torn and Dick Van Patten.

Rudy Giuliani came in at around $380,000 — and he gets more A-list performers — such as Adam Sandler, Robert Duvall, Kelsey Grammar and Jon Voight — as well as "24" producer Joel Surnow.

And of course Mike Huckabee's secret weapon for several weeks has been actor and tough guy Chuck Norris.
