I don't know... have they ever done so before?
I seem to remember libs ragging on Reagan, on Bush 41, and now on W for perceived slips of the tongue.
I don't remember anyone making any fuss over JFK's faux pas of "Ich bin ein Berliner" ("I am a jelly-donught") during his visit to Berlin, and that was a major-league boo-boo.
I don't remember any comments at the time when Carter did an interview with Playboy Magazine in which he said "I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do—and I have done it—and God forgives me for it."
So you tell me the answer to that question, Tuscany.
Oh, by the way, this is not the first time that Bush has mispronounced names of foreign leaders. In June 2001, he called Spain's Pime Minister Jose Maria Aznar "ansar" which is the Spanish word for goose.
