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: Advice

My friends, Iran's twitchy little thug president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has weighed in, once again, on our upcoming elections. He claims that it really "doesn't matter" whether McCain or The Messiah, Lord Barack Obama The Most Merciful, wins. Mahmoud says America needs "change." The next president needs to focus more on domestic problems and stop intervening in affairs in his neck of the world. If the new guy changes current policy, then Tehran would welcome "dialogue" with us. In other words, Mahmoud wants change he can believe in.

The notion that America should focus more on domestic issues is a longstanding Democrat talking point, but there is yet other news from Iran. The Central Bank there just reported that their inflation rate hit 27.6 percent. This comes on top of fuel shortages and an economy that looks more and more like Jimmy Carter's running things over there.

Meanwhile, there is another domestic issue brewing in Iran -- and I mean "domestic" in every sense of the word. Mahmoud's hard-liners are trying force a law through their parliament that would allow Iranian men to take additional wives -- without the prior consent of their first wife. Dozens of women's activist groups are outraged, and protests grew so heated the parliament had to cancel a scheduled vote and send the measure back to committee.

Sounds to me, Mamhoud, like you oughta take your own advice and worry about your domestic issues instead of cheerleading for your Democrat buddies here in the United States -- they're going to lose anyway.
