New English?

Reacting to another of Representative Steve King's attempts to make English the official language of the United States, Christie Vilsack told the Ames Tribune that there is no need to make English the official language.

Odd, since her Governor husband, Tom Vilsack (The Pickle), signed a bill making English the state's official language over twelve years ago and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Tribune also discussed with Candidate Vilsack a 1994 newspaper column she wrote -- Hablas Ingles? Czy Pani Mowi Powi Po Angielsku?

Vilsack denies she said that English should be the official language of the United States.

Christie claims her opening sentence “The time has come to make English the official language of this country” was completely taken out of context.

In fairness, she did write "of the United States" and not "this country".

Much more troubling in the column is the fact the Mrs. Vilsack, the English teacher, would be sad if I never heard another Iowan say, “Where’s it at?” and the fact that she is fascinated at the way some African-Americans speak to each other in an English I struggle to understand, then switch to standard English when the situation requires.

In what context is that to be taken?
