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

MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Republicans: ‘They’re Just Awful’



(Breitbart.tv) - Responding to Newsweek's Jonathon Alter litany of government spending on infrastructure throughout the history of America and then lamenting that Republican's are against new spending on such things, host Chris Matthews got very excited and jumped in with "They're just awful!" Matthews followed up with a weak attempt at covering himself by saying "and Democrats are no better", but he offered no explanation as to how the Democrats are "no better" and went on to extol countries who rely on high-speed rail because they do not have the same car-ownership culture that we have in the United States.

Someone should ask Mr. Matthews what would happen to our country's already weak manufacturing base if people stopped using their cars and traveled via high-speed rail as it occurs in the countries he praises in this incoherent rant. But liberals never think about the repercussions of their feel-good ideas, do they?
