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.

Bad Example

(Fox News) - A contract worker in Nevada was called to the Carson City Jail Friday night to test the blood of a person suspected of drunken driving. But Kathleen Cherry — a phlebotomist trained to draw blood for lab tests — was then accused of drunken driving herself. Cherry told a sheriff's deputy who smelled alcohol on her breath that she had drunk just one margarita.

But police say cherry had red eyes, droopy eyelids and a blood alcohol content over the legal limit. She was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving. Adding insult to injury, Cherry's SUV was towed because it was parked in a zone at the sheriff's department marked for police only.
