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

Video: Minnesota governor turned Truther superpatriot walks off radio show in huff

(Hot Air) - From [yesterday] morning’s Opie & Anthony show, your viral video of the day. The little guy is comedian Jim Norton. The big guy is a bully who used to wrestle in a feather boa, likes to throw around the chickenhawk smear when discussing foreign policy, and, oh yes, is a full-blown mouthbreathing 9/11 conspiracy theorist who retreats into the “just asking questions” cop-out when challenged. In four-plus minutes here, I don’t think he engages a single point Norton makes, choosing instead to insult him, walk out, and then stare him down as if promising an imminent ass-kicking. Behold America’s highest profile Truther in all his glory. He and the movement deserve each other. Strong content warning.
