Maybe this is why they try not to let him get off the leash too often:

W's anthem-nesia:
He sang in Spanish

WASHINGTON - President Bush says the national anthem should only be sung in English, but he was apparently singing a different tune during his first run for President and at his inaugural festivities.

On the campaign trail in 1999, Bush would often sing along as the national anthem was sung in Spanish during stops in Hispanic communities, GOP scholar Kevin Phillips wrote in his book "American Dynasty."

After Bush was elected, Cuban exile and pop vocalist Jon Secada also sang the "The Star-Spangled Banner" in both English and Spanish at the 2001 opening ceremony of the presidential inaugural, according to media reports at the time.

The White House had no immediate comment, claiming it was unaware of the reports of those instances, which Democrats and their allies eagerly shared with reporters.

Bush and Secada sang the actual national anthem in Spanish, and not the new song with different lyrics and music that has angered many English-speaking Americans.

Nonetheless, Bush still appeared to have amnesia when he suggested last week that the "The Star-Spangled Banner" is an English-only tune.

"I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English," Bush said.

This is now two books written by Phillips has written that can be used against Bush. Next thing you know, Phillips will be on David Horowitz' list of the most dangerous liberals in America...

I bring this up, because it's been fun watching die-hard conservatives go Nomad on this piece of information: "But it's an English song... but my president sang it in Spanish...error....error....faulty...FAULTY...."
