Affleck; what a maroon!
Usage Note: Sometimes people mistakenly use enervate to mean “to invigorate” or “to excite” by assuming that this word is a close cousin of the verb energize. In fact enervate does not come from the same source as energize (Greek energos, “active”). It comes from Latin nervus, “sinew.” Thus enervate means “to cause to become ‘out of muscle’,” that is, “to weaken or deplete of strength.”
From Dictionary.com. Never misunderestimate a lib.
I swear, I will never, ever tire of reading Mark Steyn.
Because, when push comes to shove, the Republican party is much more balanced and in step with American values. The far left wing whackos could actually end up undermining a the anybody but Bush voters. Comments from Howard Dean today when the terror alert came out -- saying it was phoney and we're in no danger -- is only going to hurt Kerry in the long run.
As always, you be right. Thanks! :)
Priceless.

Mayber Ben is a Republican mole, and this was a signal to his handler!
Hey buttock shifter! I liked it too! :-)
In fact, just after staying up waaaaaaay to late to watch Kerry's address - my immediate reaction was 'a lot of words that said nothing'.
Yeah, as Norm might have said, Affleck is really an incontinent speaker.
"on defence, graying ponytailed nuclear-freeze reflex anti-militarists know best"
Too right!
"classic Kerry: verbose, shapeless, platitudinous, complacent, ill-disciplined, arrogant, and humourless."
Yes, that's Kerry all right. I don't care what the polls say or how much the media pushes him, I just cannot believe that America will elect this pompous, duplicitous ass.
"For those of us who don't use enervate very often, it means weaken."

I rest my case! But, but Ben is an actor from Hollywood; intelligent, caring, nuanced, enervated (oops), enlightened, wise, eye candy puppet supporting John Kerry (and maybe doing both daughters) so he could not have made a (a hush descends) mistake. Send Ben an email; tell him next time he gives critical campaign advice to the Democratic candidate for President of The United States the term to use is ENERGISE; or rally, stoke, light a fire, fire up, are you ready to rumble...etc.. Ben basically pissed on the last match in a blizzard; I want to be as smart as him when I grow up. Maybe in 2008 Hillary will need an escort;what was that David Lee Roth song, ...just a gigilo...!
ROFLOL !!!! Priceless, indeed.
bump...
Do you get the impression that Steyn would "love" to see a Kerry presidency? Think of the material! LOL
