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

Bill O’Reilly While Discussing Sarah Palin: “There Isn’t Anybody More Vilified Than Glenn Beck”

(By Mark Joyella, Mediaite) - Fox’s Bill O’Reilly–who delivered what he describes as a “devastating” indictment of those who linked the shootings in Arizona to politicians like Sarah Palin–does not see the former Alaska governor as the ultimate victim of hypercharged political rhetoric. It’s Glenn Beck.

In a discussion with 'Fox & Friends' co-host Gretchen Carlson and Fox contributor Margaret Hoover, O’Reilly dismissed suggestions that there’s a gender bias in politics, saying “there isn’t anybody more vilified than Beck.”

Nonetheless, O’Reilly remains proud of his Monday night “attack” on those who he believes have unfairly tied Palin and Rep. Michele Bachmann to the violence in Tucson.

Bill O'Reilly cracks me up. What an ego! His comments regarding Sarah Palin were about as "devastating" as his boycott of France-tourism went up as soon as Billo announced he would never visit again. And I doubt anyone was devastated by his remarks. Once again, he like the rest of his cohorts on the right don't get it. No one is tying Palin directly to the Tuscon incident. We don't have enough evidence to support that charge and unlike the right the left prefers variable facts not rumors and distortions. Sarah Palin was mentioned early on in the aftermath because Gabby Giffords herself had called on her to beheld accountable for her he crosshairs map.
