Anyone know the extent of Richardson's knowledge of Spanish and how well he speaks it?

Anyone know the extent of Richardson's knowledge of Spanish and how well he speaks it? Probably well enough to know what I'd mean if I ran into him and said, "Horalé, cabron! Pinché ojeté! Veté a la chingada!"

I don't personally know but I consulted the wikipedia oracle, which says....
Richardson was born in Pasadena, California. His mother, Maria Luisa Lopez-Collada, was Mexican. His father was born in Nicaragua, grew up in Boston, and worked for Citibank as an executive in Mexico. He was raised in Mexico City, but moved to Massachusetts at age 13 to attend a Boston-area high school.
How many know he was born right here in SoCal? I didn't. Since he lived approx. 12 of his early years in La Capital, he knew Spanish. It's a question of how much he retained, but I think the use of it would come in handy as Governor of New Mexico.
