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.

Full Exposure

(Fox News) - A nude painting of Sarah Palin is now the prime attraction at a Chicago bar. The Chicago Tribune reports Bruce Elliott painted the portrait and hung it at the Old Town Ale House, a north side dive owned by his wife.

Elliot admits he has a crush of sorts on the Republican vice presidential nominee, saying, "I've been following her religiously. I had never heard of her before, like everyone else. I find her bizarrely fascinating, even though I pretty much despise everything she stands for."

Elliot says he first painted her smile and trademark glasses before adding a gun, red high heels, a polar bear rug, a scared moose and a rugged Alaskan landscape. He says his daughter, who looks like Palin, served as the model for Palin's body.
