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.

Media Matters’ Eric Boehlert Links Tucson Shooting to Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and Andrew Breitbart

(Breitbart.tv) - Behold, the logic of the left: "No one is saying that they are responsible for what happened in Arizona, but they appear to have no regrets whatsoever in terms of what they have done to the political discourse in this country."

For the record, the oblique reference Mr. Boehlert made can be seen here in context. The analogy refers to President Obama's seeming willingness to allow Democratic Congressmen to lose re-election for the sake of getting his Health Care legislation passed. (A prediction that proved quite prescient.) We were unaware that evidence has come out showing Jared Loughner is a frequent reader of 'Big Journalism'.
