Does Andrew Card read from a script that favors the word "spectacular"?

WASHINGTON -- The federal drug safety agency is doing a ''spectacular job'' of protecting the public, the White House chief of staff said Sunday. The assessment drew an immediate outcry from a Senate critic who charged that government oversight under the Bush administration has proved ''a catastrophic failure.''

President Bush's chief of staff, Andrew Card, said, ''I would like the FDA to continue to do the job they do.''

Card said, ''They do a spectacular job."

And now to Rumsfeld.

Rumsfeld, who agreed to Bush's request this month to stay in the Cabinet during the president's second term, won a vote of confidence from the White House on Sunday.

"Secretary Rumsfeld is doing a spectacular job," said the president's chief of staff, Andrew Card, in a broadcast interview.

"The president has provided good direction for our military, and Secretary Rumsfeld is transforming our military to meet the threats of the 21st century," Card said.

One shakes one head and looks downward.

2. Like Donald Trump over-using "fantastic," "amazing", and "terrific".
