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.

THEY'RE BA-A-ACK

(By KIRSTEN POWERS, New York Post) - IN a recent Saturday Night Live skit, a lip-biting Bill Clinton (Darrell Hammond) told the audience, "I'm here to make a very important announcement. After the holiday, Barack Obama will officially appoint me the husband to the secretary of state."

And, in fact, when the president-elect announces his national-security team today, he's widely expected to put the former first couple squarely on the international stage by bestowing upon his rival, Hillary Clinton, that plum position - secretary of state.

Is there any doubt we'll again be getting "two for the price of one?"

Billary is back.
