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.

Harry Reid: No Illegal Immigrants Do Construction Work In Nevada?



LAS VEGAS (Real Clear Politics Video) - "When you go to the unemployment office there's many U.S. citizens who are unemployed construction workers and they don't have jobs because right now, some of those construction companies find it easier to hire undocumented workers," said Reporter Nathan Baca.

"I think that any information you have in that regard is absolutely without foundation," responded Reid. "That may be someplace, but it is not here in Nevada."

(Hot Air) - [With regard to the woman's obituary] If this was Chicago, we know what the answer would be — dig up a few more dead voters! In Nevada, though, that option probably doesn’t work. Instead, Reid will have to convince a state full of Charlotte McCourts that they have nothing more to fear from him, because he’s done all of the damage he can do.

Mrs. McCourt is at peace now, and far beyond the world of politics and elections, but her family’s valediction may make her more politically viable than Reid himself. I hope that Reid has many happy and healthy years of retirement, but also that his political demise comes as quickly as possible. It would indeed be ironic if a Democrat lost an election from the graveyard.
