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.

Flashback: Chris Matthews Tells Glenn Beck He’s “A Great Guy”

(By Glynnis MacNicol, Mediaite) - Every time I put up a post in which Chris Matthews mentions Glenn Beck, or mentions Beck in a way that might lead people to believe he’s just discovered him, or mentions Beck in a way that might lead people to believe he (Beck) is not in fact human, someone emails in a link to this 2003 interview during which Matthews seems to be getting along just fine with Glenn (“this guy’s a great guy…I listen to him coming to work every night”). Perhaps not quite tingle-up-his-leg fine, but fine nonetheless.
