I've heard that Bush can speak Spanish.
He can barely speak English, but that's not what I wanted to bring up.

I bet you money he isn't fluent in Spanish. My guess is he can speak a little conversational Spanish.

Any thoughts on this?

5. I speak Spanish fluently and whenever I
hear him speak it he totally massacres it. His brother can speak it pretty well but his "Spanish" sucks big time. I speak better Chinese than he speaks Spanish.

6. I don't know about him
But Jeb speaks good Spanish, probably a result of his Mexican wife.

7. Native speaker here
That pinche culero speaks just enough to try to get a few votes. He mangles it worse than his English, if that can be believed.

22. Suddenly I get it--he speaks in tongues!
Maybe that's why the RW wacko fundies keep supporting him. Only they can understand him 'cause he's talkin' in tongues...like any good man of God!

Yech!

12. I'm not sure...
...that "Coma mis heces, puta pequeña," counts as speaking Spanish, especially since he had to ask four times how to say it and wouldn't pay extra for it.

20. He fakes it enough to fool people who DON'T speak Spanish.
People who do can tell that he's butchering the language. Anyone surprised?

23. It's probably like that Beavis and Butthead episode
Spanish teacher: "I'm going to give you bastards one chance to say a sentence in Spanish, and if you can't, I'm giving you an F"
Butthead: "Uh, crendaporacomolocoricosuave"
Beavis: "Uh, taco supreme"
