Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Shelley Fralic: Palin's the one with the balls in this campaign

By Shelley Fralic
Vancouver Sun

Was it only a week ago that no one outside of the state of Alaska, which she has governed for two years, had ever heard of Sarah Palin?

Most Americans had no idea what kind of politician she is, no one knew she has a five-month-old Down syndrome baby, or a pregnant teenage daughter, or a son heading off to Iraq next week, that her kids have names like Track and Trig and Bristol, or that her husband of 20 years is a champion snow-machine racer.

No one knew what she stood for, or why she stands for it.
