More Steyn excellence with a few keepers, but I'm already looking forward the the 'negative bounce' column from Mr. Steyn. ooooooooo la la.

For those of us who don't use enervate very often, it means weaken.

Pretty sound, and effective advice as we learn today with the negative bounce polls.

Somehow I don't think Afflect could gauge how stupid, yet prophetic he would become.

I think I figured out what the opening scene if Kerry's speech was about -- last week Meryl Streep said he needed to act better while making the speech to reach the American Public. He must have been watching Patton to get a few lessons and decided to copy George C Scott in Patton with that Salute.

This buttock-shifting ol' freeper thinks it be a great essay.

Steyn is a classic!

I think the "The Senator needs you to move" line anecdote best sums up Kerry.

"You have to enervate the base"

The comedian Norm Crosby, King of the Malaprop, used to stay up all night thinking these bloopers up. But an idiot like Affleck just burps them up effortlessly. There's no justice, I tell you.

"The Senator needs you to move." And even then everyone else says it better.

This must be why he's sticking so close to Edwards........apparently he says it better. Blecccch!

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.

I swear, I will never, ever tire of reading Mark Steyn.

"You have to enervate the base," the Hollywood heartthrob advised solemnly. If it's enervating the base you're after, John F Kerry would seem to be the perfect candidate

Priceless.

"But, if he was that easily suckered by a renowned moron, how much more susceptible would he be to such wily operators as Chirac."

This is too funny are are his descriptions of Kerry and his speech. I love Steyn. And may I thank you for posting the entire article and not just an excerpt, ala quidknuclehead?

"on defence, graying ponytailed nuclear-freeze reflex anti-militarists know best"

Too right!

[Max Combined]

"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.

Steyn sure has a way with words. And to think that he never went to college.
