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: K.M.A.

Well, despite the show of unity -- in Unity -- there is no "unity." That's right, my friends: Mrs. Bill showed up for the hardest day of her political life in Unity, New Hampshire. Cameras recorded the whole thing, but back home in Chappaqua, Mister Bill is seething over Obama's win.

The UK Telegraph reports that Bill Clinton's "rage is still so great that even loyal allies are shocked by his patronizing attitude to Mr. Obama, and believe that he risks damaging his own reputation by his intransigence."

Let me correct the reporting just a bit. Clinton's rage is so great that he risks further damaging what little is left of his already soiled reputation by behaving even more obnoxiously and childishly than he already has.

The report says Clinton is furious that his reputation was tarnished -- it's hard not to laugh -- "when several of his comments were interpreted as racist." Because... they were racist! Wanna bet he's really mad that he can't pick up black women as easily as before? Wanna bet that he's upset he's no longer the big cheese?

The Telegraph reports a senior Democrat claims that Clinton has been telling those close to him that Obama will have to, quote, "kiss my ass" to get Bill's support. Obama's gotta grovel. The senior Democrat is worried about Bill's anger. "You can't talk like that about Obama," he says; he's the nominee -- "not some house boy you can order around." (He is to the Clintons.)

You Democrats: stop worrying, here. Clinton only wants Obama to kiss his rear... and a little money for the Clinton Foundation will go a long way.
