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.

Rangel's further abuses exposed

(By Clarice Feldman, American Thinker) - The New York Post reports today that House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel's (D-NY) violation of Congressional rules (and tax law) continues. Seems he's been using the Congressional parking lot as a free storage facility for his no longer registered silver Mercedes Benz.

The car is covered with a protective tarp and has no license plates. Rangel's registration on the vehicle expired in 2004, state records show.

House rules forbid use of the garage for long-term storage more than 45 days - and congressional aides told The Post that Rangel's car has been sitting there for years.

What's his motto? Your House is my house?
