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.

Rush Limbaugh's Morning Update: Conflicts

Well, my friends, we have a cornucopia of conflicting Democrat stories today.

The first one's this, between Illinois Democrat Governor Rod Blagojevich and Democrat Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry Reid. Blago says that Dingy Harry called him, telling him not to appoint any of the three black guys interested in the seat Obama is vacating in the Senate, but instead to chose between two non-black women. Dingy Harry claims that Blago is making the whole thing up, while Reid continues to prevent Blago's appointment -- Roland Burris, a black guy -- from ever taking office and being seated. So... which of these "honorable" Democrats are we to believe?

Story conflict Number Two. This one is between Lord Obama's transition team and Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico. The Messiah's transition team claims that Richardson was not "forthcoming" before he was nominated to become Commerce Secretary. Team 'Bamster says that they didn't know about a federal investigation looking into whether Richardson steered a state contract to one of his big donors. Richardson's camp says that Obama’s team was informed about the investigation from Day One.

Now, no matter who you believe here, folks, Richardson's gone -- threw himself under the bus. From this day forward, his name will be stricken from news reports. He'll be exiled back to New Mexico, out of sight and out of mind, with this memo to Democrats: "Thou shalt not embarrass The Messiah, Lord Obama the Most Merciful."

Speaking of conflicting Democrat stories, my friends, this is just the beginning. (It's what happens when you have a party that cannot tell the truth.) As for Burris, if Harry Reid will not seat him in the Senate, Burris should go to Denny's -- they will seat him.
