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.

I liked Paris better in that bootleg tape of hers. She was also good in that Hardee's commercial.

From National Review Online:

It was awesome. Referring to McCain as “white-haired dude” instead of using his name, saying he’s old enough to remember when “beer came in buckets”, putting up a picture of Yoda while she’s talking — why can’t McCain get her writers?

Note how she was careful to take one glancing shot at Obama, even though she was responding to a McCain ad. This was very well thought through. The scariest part of the whole thing is that her energy plan kind of made sense. It was certainly more coherent than anything put forward by either major campaign.
