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.

Hillary's coughing fit


(Drudge Report) - Just as Mrs. Clinton touted the importance of good health and universal healthcare for America, a scary coughing fit forced the end of a live TV interview on Super Tuesday.

Clinton was addressing the nation's healthcare needs live on San Francisco's KTVU-TV.

The drama comes 48 hours after taping had to be delayed Sunday on ABC 'THIS WEEK', when a Clinton coughing fit alarmed producers. Concerned Host George Stephanopoulos told the senator to get some "tea and lemon".

"Every New Yorker has a sore throat after last night," Clinton explained to talk-show host David Letterman during her appearance Monday on 'LATE SHOW', trying to deflect any health concerns.

Hillary either cries, coughs, or cackles--entirely new dramatic effects that emanate from her orifice--when she wants to duck or deflect a probing question. Her voice was perfect in between coughs as she said, "Just a minute." I have a horrible cold, too, so I know whereof I speak. All contrived.
