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.

Rumsfeld to "pull no punches" in autobiography

(Reuters) - Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld will release an autobiography in January that the publisher promises "pulls no punches" from a man who was one of the most ardent proponents of going to war in Iraq.

The publisher also plans to launch a website with thousands of pages of documents to support Rumsfeld's account. Rumsfeld, 78, has said all profits will go to veterans' charities.

"Like Donald Rumsfeld himself, this memoir pulls no punches," said Adrian Zackheim, president and publisher of the Sentinel imprint of Penguin Group.
