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.

Goat Gores Rep. Weiner, Draws Blood

(The Hill) - Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) was injured by a mohair goat on Thursday during a press conference to highlight subsidies to the mohair industry.

The goat nicked Weiner's right hand with one of its pointy, foot-long horns, hard enough to draw blood.

Weiner was speaking to reporters in a park near the Rayburn House Office Building, where he was joined by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and two young male mohair goats, Lancelot and Arthur.
