The Man down under

Tim Blair is recalling the most memorable quotes of 2004, month by ever-loving month.

My personal favourite so far is a quote from August:

* "You have to enervate the base." -- no wonder Ben Affleck is a Kerry supporter. Consider that base well and truly enervated

For anyone who doesn't know what enervate means...

Perhaps he meant electrify, empower, enliven, excite, or encourage.

Or perhaps we shouldn't be taking political advice from Hollywood celebs.
