My goodness such snipiness so early in the morning.

Look, I personally don't think there's anything wrong with singing the song in Spanish - big deal! - it's when you change the words that it's a problem. The same people that villify the press are the first ones to believe it the first minute they can bash one of the Bush's.


*can't help but think of how some of the older crowd gets offended at youth groups singing amazing grace to the tune of gilligan's island or the house of the rising sun*

So by your logic, we should never believe the press when it reports anything we don't want to hear.

This is a very hotbutton issue right now and singing the national anthem in spanish is a very big deal due to the protests in the streets. We're not talking about some Sunday School group doing a humorous takeoff on a song - we're talking about the Balkanization of America. Forgive us if we take this issue seriously.
