http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/former-white-house-staffer-andy-card-sept-11th-was-a-spectacular-day-for-george-w-bush/Former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card recalled on Monday that the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 had been a spectacular day for President George W. Bush. The reality is the world changed on that September 11th, 2001 day, the former chief of staff said. That was a spectacular day. And I whispered a second plane hit the second tower, America was under attack. Thats when the president of the United States had to step up and keep the oath of office that he took.
Definition spectacular: beautiful in a dramatic and eye-catching way.
WTF is Card talking about. He found beauty in the crumbling of the towers, the raging fire at the Pentagon, or the smoking rubble in Pennsylvania. I always thought 9/11 was a horrible and evil act leading to untold misery. I guess the Reich Wing sees it differently.

...in an interview in December of 2001.
I have no doubt that both Bush and Card were sincerely and accurately expressing their feelings.

By dismantling the Constitution? I'm guessing that Mr. Card can't recite the presidential oath.
