"When visiting cities like Chicago, Milwaukee, or Philadelphia, in pivotal states, George W. Bush would drop in at Hispanic festivals and parties, sometimes joining in singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” in Spanish, sometimes partying with a “Viva Bush” mariachi band flown in from Texas."

So writes author Kevin Phillips in his book AMERICAN DYNASTY.

Last week, at the height of the illegal immigrant's boycott build up, Bush told reporters: "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English."

Here's the link, but that is all of it (I went there to save everyone else from the site):

2. Who cares- Democrats will be too frightened to call him on it.
Are any Democrats on TV today calling him a liar and a hypocrite over this?

No?

Then SO WHAT? It may as well not have happened.

Hippocrits...all of them.

"I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English.
And they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English."

By the way, Dubya's former oil company was called "Arbusto", which is Spanish for "Bush".

7. "I think all political lies should be stated only in English"
That would also be a good title for that page. :)
