Hey! I got my own problems with a Jeb Bush candidacy but to slam him for speaking poor Spanish is ridiculous as the video clearly demonstrates. Gotta wonder if Richardson has some issues with Jeb that we don't know about that makes him so petty.

If Jeb is so fluent in spanish, perhaps he should run for President of the Berlitz language schools, because he’s not getting the RNC nomination.

According to the thread below, he speaks only Spanish at home:

I think Bush speaks Spanish at home, so I’d say he’s probably pretty fluent. His wife is Mexican born, so he probably conforms to her accent (meaning it’s not Cuban, the dominant Florida accent).

I don’t know how Richardson speaks Spanish or how much, but this is ridiculous.

Bush was an excellent governor, but if he got elected president, I think he’d be weak against the Democrats and too busy “reaching across the aisle” to accomplish anything. Just like his brother.

Hillary’s irregulars are already seeking appointments.

Richardson gets on these shows because he’s nice. Nice & dumb.

He’s fluent in Spanish and Open Borders. The former is fine the latter not so much.

In fact Jeb’s Spanish is so good I think he should be named ambassador to Cuba. :-)

Makes one wonder how well Richardson spoke Korean, when he took his propaganda tour, on board U.S.S. Pueblo :(

I don’t care for Bush as a presidential candidate, but I know fluency when I hear it...and he’s fluent in Spanish.

I think we should encourage the two of them to settle their differences in a tiny basement with flamethrowers.

As I have said, a liberal is someone who would never let the truth get in the way of his agenda, ditto Richardson.

I always wondered why a brilliant genius man of the world like Baraq Obaama didn’t have any foreign language skills. Did the MSM ever query him on that subject?

English is completely superior to Spanish as a language.. in every way..

Spanish sounds good, but isn’t..

Who in the heck even cares about his fluency. Is he fluent in English, that’s all I want to know.

This was an interview at depth on philosophical and political matters, these aren’t prepared remarks. His command of the language is very good.

I guess Hillary’s group ordered Richardson to get on the air and try smearing Jeb. Bill Richardson; the proud hispanic with the anglo surname.

Oh the good ol’ days are back. There is another Bush to blame for everything.

I remember the left being bent out of shape because Dubya was in an excellent state of fitness.
