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: Culture of Democrats II

From Rush Limbaugh: In one of these updates about three weeks ago, I talked about the "Culture of Democrats." I detailed a few of the corruption charges that elected Democrats, on the local and federal level, are facing. Now, it's a little bit late, but the AP has come up with their own coverage of the problem... in the form of a warning to Democrats that they are self-destructing over ethics issues.

AP describes Illinois Senator Roland Burris' admission that he tried to raise money for the now-impeached Governor Blago, who's accused of trying to sell Obama's senate seat. Then there's New York Democrat Charlie Rangel, who has multiple problems -- including fraudulent financial disclosure reports, fundraising and tax compliance issues, and questions over a resort property he owns in the Dominican Republic.

Pennsylvania Democrat John Murtha is waiting for the other shoe to drop in an investigation into a defense firm he's close to that got millions in federal funding. Bill Richardson is also waiting for a shoe to drop in a federal investigation regarding state contracts that he awarded. And then there are the waivers Obama granted in order to let about a dozen or more lobbyists violate his own lobbying/ethics rules. Not to mention the Democrat tax cheats -- most notably Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, Tom "Puff" Daschle, and Nancy Killefer.

This Democrat corruption is just the tip of the iceberg, folks. If you Drive-Bys want to find more, just follow the trail of the billions of dollars in stimulus money.
