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.

Rush Limbaugh's Morning Update: Slugfest!

Well, Barack Obama's foreign policy advisor, Samantha Power, has stepped down. She was fired after telling a reporter -- "off the record" -- that Hillary Clinton was a "monster" who would stop at nothing to win the nomination. She also indicated that if elected, Obama would not order an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, despite his campaign stance. (Which is not a big surprise; I told you that months ago.)

Meanwhile, Hillary spokesman Howard Wolfson compared Obama to Ken Starr, the independent "sex-starved" prosecutor who investigated the Clintons in the '90s. Howard Wolfson did not resign; Mrs. Clinton has not disavowed the remarks. The Ken Starr insult came in response to Barack's demand that Hillary release her tax returns.

Former Senator Bill Bradley -- Democrat, New Jersey -- has jumped into the mix, too. He's demanding the Clintons release financial documents, including the donors to the Clinton Presidential Library & Massage Parlor.

Bill Bradley wants to know if "there are favors attached" to contributions. "And what do I mean by favors," he said, "I mean, pardons that are granted; investigations that are squelched; contracts that are awarded; regulations that are delayed." Senator Bradley also accused the Clintons of "lying" to win the nomination. He said: "The bigger the lie, the better chance they think they've got."

SHORT MEMO:
From: Me.
To: Those of you who doubted my successful campaign to keep Hillary in this race to foster turmoil in the Democrat Party and to bloody up Obama politically.
Message: Don't EVER doubt me -- again.
