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.

Planning a wedding takes real diplomacy, Bush says

WASHINGTON (Winston-Salem Journal) - President Bush has started joking about the worst-kept secret in the White House: the wedding of his daughter Jenna on May 10.

“I had to face some very difficult spending decisions, and I’ve had to conduct sensitive diplomacy,” Bush said yesterday. “That’s called planning for a wedding.” His line got a laugh from his audience at the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Jenna and her fiance, Henry Hager, have decided to marry at her parents’ ranch in Crawford, Texas, rather than at the White House. The White House has declined to release any details, such as the setting on the ranch, who has been invited and how many people will attend.

Is it just my imagination, or has the BP turned into a cross between The O'Reilly Factor and The National Enquirer?

What's with all this page six fluff?

If you don't like it, go somewhere else then.
