Am 19 Mai hielt Präsident Bush vor "the sons of Italy Foundation" eine Rede, in der auch folgender Satz fiel.

Gruß, Alfred

In so many aspects of American life, it is hard to think of this country without the Italian influence. The life of our country has been richer because of names like DiMaggio and Lombardi, Capra and Sinatra, LaGuardia, Scalia and Giuliani. (Applause.) Countless of other Italian-Americans, less well known, have excelled in every field -- from the artisans who carved the figure of Lincoln that overlooks the Mall right here in Washington, to business leaders, to educators, to many good priests and nuns who have kindly looked after Italian parishes here in America. (Applause.) It was an Italian-American, Mother Frances Cabrini, whose mission to build hospitals and orphanages for poor immigrants made her America's first saint. Of course, that's the official count -- every Italian-American man will tell you his mother is the saint. (Laughter and applause.)

Man merkt, daß Sinatra in der Bush-Familie einen guten Stand hatte. Der heutige Präsident wird Sinatra schon gekannt haben, als sein Vater noch Vizepräsident unter Reagan war.
