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

The Week In Stoopid: The Dumbest Media Soundbites On The Tucson Shooting Tragedy

(The Blast) - Reason.tv did a fantastic job compiling the pure idiocy that was uttered, repeated, and spewed over and over and over again last week with the hopes of the general public actually believing the right was to blame for the Tucson shooting tragedy. From pointing fingers at ‘heated rhetoric’, Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and even Glenn Beck, they tried it all.

In the end (much to their surprise, mind you) people were actually smart enough to realize that Jared Loughner was just plain…insane.

I mean, can you imagine that? People actually realized pundits and politicians were heartlessly using the tragedy to take political cheap shots to push and promote an agenda? They’re supposed to be the smartest people in the room! How 'dare' you show them up like that!

Here are a few of the ridiculous attempts by the LSM as they were swinging for the fences. ( h/t Hot Air)
