Howeird Dean had "it;" this guy's got sh*t.
"....and there'd be lots of resolutions and joint declarations, and nothing would happen. We'd be fighting the war on terror through the self-admiring inertia of windbag multilateralism."
THAT is Democrat "leadership" and statecraft in a NUTSHELL!
They're gutless and consensus-seeking cowards. When they DO try something we get a Desert One or a rubbleized asprin factory.
Ok..too funny.
Kerry now says that Bush "misled" him on Iraq. But, if he was that easily suckered by a renowned moron, how much more susceptible would he be to such wily operators as Chirac. They would speak French to each other, and Jacques would blow soothingly in his ear, and Kerry would look flattered, and there'd be lots of resolutions and joint declarations, and nothing would happen. We'd be fighting the war on terror through the self-admiring inertia of windbag multilateralism.
The verb (?) just didn't seem right. Thanks.
It's one redeeming feature was that it had Kate Beckinsale in it, so conceivably if someone gave you the DVD for free, you could watch it with the sound off and skip to the scenes with Kate.
Or I could just watch Underworld again, since whatever that film's problems might be, it has Kate in skintight leather, and therefore pleases me.
I sat thru Pearl Harbor and until this thread couldn't have told you who was in it EXCEPT for Beckinsale.
I watched the computer modeling and Beckinsale and thats it!
Thanks. Great catch.
You'd think that the Kerry sh*theads that approved every speech at the convention would have picked it up. If you think Affleck wrote his speech then I'd like to sell you...
This election is the third major battle of the War on Jihad. A victory by W would be just as significant as the victories in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a huge W victory would be an awesome strike against the jihadis and their liberal/left allies.
Until watching Kerry's acceptance speech, I doubted that a huge victory was possible, and thot that even victory itself was not probable.
But all of Kerry's profound negative qualities described by Steyn came thru perfectly clear in that speech. The man is one of those rare human beings with no likable or admirable traits.
Even the mushy middle cannot fail to see that.
Let's see: Affleck wants Kerry to "enervate" the base with what Kerry claims "better idears" and "better hair"?
Oh, well! Perhaps he will do just that!
One more comment on Affleck:
In case you missed it, reprinted below is a letter from the "responses" section of Peggy Noonan's column in the WSJ this week.
"If a Republican Said It
Robert Whittier - Tsuchiura, Japan
" 'You have to enervate the base,' [Ben Affleck] told Chris Mathews."
Can you imagine Bush saying this? The press would be all over him! From the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition:
'"enervate:
"'1. To weaken or destroy the strength or vitality of: "the luxury which enervates and destroys nations" (Henry David Thoreau). See synonyms at deplete. 2. Medicine To remove a nerve or part of a nerve.'"
Don't suppose the "language police" among the Liberal talking heads will pick up on this one!
Affleck...isn't he that insurance duck ?
They're so funny when they try to act smart.
Just read your lines, honey. That's why they give you a script.
:o)

I would have gone with eviscerate....or perhaps a lobotomy
I was thinking that maybe, because it was so loud in the hall, the reported misunderstood what Affleck said. Apparently he must have said, "You have to ANNOY the base." And with that, he succeeded.
You may be right. And come to think of it, they were already lobotomized.
bump...
