Weird. I mean, even weirder than usual.
September 18:

It’s a fabulous country we have.

September 15:

She's a fabulous First Lady. (Applause.)

AUDIENCE MEMBER: So was your Mom! (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: I'm sorry she's not here tonight. And speaking about my mother, I'm still listening to her, by the way. (Laughter.)

September 8:

She is a fabulous First Lady, a great wife -- (applause.)

August 6:

This guy [Powell] has done a fabulous job. Washington, particularly in August, is a dangerous period -- a dangerous time, because there's a lot of speculation.

June 20:

I am, one, sad that Ari's leaving. He's done a fabulous job for my administration.

And of course here:

Dr. Condoleezza Rice is an honest, fabulous person, and America is lucky to have her service -- period.

What's common in all these fabulous people...

They enable Bush in his lies (that is, they are "loyal.")

So, to aWol, at least one synonym for fabulous is enabler. Thoughts, anyone?

Thanks to alert reader POS for pointing out Blotchy's use of this word.

BTW, "He's not afraid to call Condi Rice 'fabulous'" is number 6 on our "Top 10 reasons not to hate George Bush" list.

UPDATE: Alert reader misplaced patriot points me to the canonical list at Betty Bowers. Not that there would be anything wrong with Bush being a faaabulousy closeted homosexual, of course. Or with "lump in the bed" Laura helping to keep him that way.
