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

Republican Party Leader Urged to Stop the 'Negative Politics'

(CNSNews.com) - A high-profile Republican is criticizing his own party for running a Web video that tries to link President-elect Barack Obama to the scandal surrounding disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The FBI says Blagojevich talked about selling Obama's Senate seat.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Tuesday called the video a "destructive distraction" and urged Republican National Committe Chairman Mike Duncan to remove it.

On the one hand, this really shows what a weenie Gingrich is (and always has been). On the other, the game is pretty childish. The Republicrats don't have anything substantive to differ over any more. The best they can do is try to smear each other with scandal. How utterly pointless.
