Steyn is better than readers digest when it comes to increasing your word power! L0L
Thanks for the definition. It makes a whole lot more sense now.
Enervate - to weaken or destroy
"The orotund bromidic banality" of K-flopper evil was obvious at the convention. He did the best he could to conceal his innate nastiness. That what we saw was the best he could do to get something he really wants speaks volumes. I'm expecting some MamaT eruptions that'll ruin this wretched excuse for a campaign. I expected good things for us from the nefarians and "canardians" at their coven, but not as much as I got.
Mark is now on my prayer list. He must continue writing. His work is simply too darn important. This stuff should enjoy WIDE syndication, indeed.
Its a patrician's disdain for his lessers. He wants us to fire President Bush cause he feels entitled, not cause he wants to earn the presidency by winning the respect of the American people through hard work. What was the first words that came out of pompous windbag's John F*ckin's mouth at the Convention? Ahh, yes, "I waaas booorn innn theee Weeest Winggg." There's the snotty presumption he's born to be President and as Mark Steyn observed, you mortals should get out of the way. Any one who disagrees is simply standing in the way of inevitably. John F*ckin' thinks he lives in an aristocracy. Perhaps in November it would be a good idea to give him an education in the meaning of America: her people have the final say in who sits in the White House.
The next time John F*ckin' brings up the "outsourcing" issue, President Bush ought to take the opportunity to turn it around on him. After all he doesn't believe foreign policy should be kept at home, in our own hands. Who is going to be affected by what happens in the world more, Americans or Chirac, Schroeder, and company? This should be an easy question to answer.
Ben is sKerry's boy toy. What else does he have to do? His acting career is in the crapper.
"We'd be fighting the war on terror through the self-admiring inertia of windbag multilateralism."
ie, deju-vu all over again a la' Bill Clinton.
Because they know Kerry and Edwards don't mean it when they say they're going to use the military to fight a real war.
Thanks for the *ping*!!
What I love about steyn is the way he strikes at the heart of the issue with humor.
This is a trait of our President as well.
I hope they are in league
As usual, Mark hits the mark.
Only one of countless flaws in Leftist thinking. "Bush is a moron," but he dances circles around them and constantly "misleads" them. What a bunch of worthless, bottom feeding slobs.
Yes indeed. I was wondering how that would play to America when he uttered those words
The joke I heard was that he won an Academy Award for taking dictation.

Last year, I was at a Kerry campaign stop in New Hampshire chatting with two old coots in plaid. The Senator approached and stopped in front of us. The etiquette in primary season is that the candidate defers to the cranky Granite Stater's churlish indifference to status and initiates the conversation: "Hi, I'm John Kerry. Good to see ya. Cold enough for ya?" Etc. But Kerry just stood there nose to nose, staring at us with a semi-glare on his face. After an eternity, an aide stepped out from behind him and said, "The Senator needs you to move." "Well, why couldn't he have said that?" muttered one of the old coots, as Kerry swept past us. That's how I felt after the Convention: all week Senators Biden, Lieberman and Edwards made the case that the Democrats were credible on national security. Why couldn't Kerry have said that? |
Priceless.
Yeah, that stood out to me too. Big time.
"Mr Affleck offered a pearl of wisdom to Mr Kerry and his consultants: "You have to enervate the base," the Hollywood heartthrob advised solemnly."
I am the last to defend any lib like Affleck but it is only fair to note that our great President is one of the all-time tongue-twisted politicians of out time.
I'll give little ben a pass. Mangling words does not generally reflect intelligence (Mike Tyson being an exception); policy, vision, core beliefs, straight-forward, principled stands are good indicators.
