Bully Pulpit

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

‘Punk A** F*ggot!’: Documentary Trailer Includes Slur-Shouting Al Sharpton

(By Jonathon M. Seidl, The Blaze) - An upcoming documentary about classic TV agitator Morton Downey, Jr. may end up being a great flick. But the film’s “star” might not be Downey, but rather Al Sharpton, who is seen in the movie’s trailer screaming a gay slur.

The Smoking Gun explains the documentary, 'Evocateur', focuses on “the acerbic, chain-smoking talk show host“ whose ”eponymous 1980s program was filmed in Secaucus, New Jersey and whose audience was filled with current and future probationers.” Think of it as the pre-cursor to Jerry Springer.

Apparently, the Rev. Al Sharpton was a regular guest on the program. And apparently, he wasn’t as “sensitive” back then.
