Bush Buys Home In Dallas

[Joanne98]

WASHINGTON — President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush have bought a home in an affluent North Dallas neighborhood, where they will live after the president leaves office in January.

Laura Bush's press secretary, Sally McDonough, said Thursday that the Bushes purchased a home in the Preston Hollow area, where some of the state's wealthiest residents live in some of its most expensive houses.

"We picked out a house but we don't have occupancy of it so as soon as we do, we'll announce exactly where it is," Mrs. Bush told NBC News on Thursday. "We're looking forward to that."

While the White House has declined to disclose the address, local property records indicate that Robert McCleskey, a Bush family friend from Midland, Texas, who has done accounting work for the family, recently bought an 8,500-square-foot house with a market value of $2.1 million on a cul-de-sac with about a half-dozen homes.

McCleskey is listed as a trustee on the ranch-style brick house on Daria Place, and he said the house was bought Oct. 1. He said he could not say for whom the home was purchased.

2. So this means they're actually leaving?

I still won't believe it until they're finally gone (can't take any more disappointments).

4. Sigh....

Why does he have to move close to me? :(

5. The pig farm is of no further benefit

So will it be up for sale soon? Let's all pitch in buy it and move Cindy Sheehan in there.

We could rename it Rancho Mal Arbusto.

6. Hell, there goes the neighborhood

7. Mark it down. This will be the start of urban blight in Dallas.

Just by moving down there, the Bushes will have lowered the total IQ in Dallas by at least 10%.

8. We shoudl find a billboard near there and lease it for a year or more

Imagine the torture we could inflict on the Chimpster

9. My Condolences to Dallas

10. What's our extradition policy with the Republic of Texas? (n/t)

11. I knew it

I knew he wouldn't stay at the ranch. Now that he's not running for anything, he can drop the phony cowboy image.

12. And the Prairie Chapel Ranch will become a vacant pig

farm.

13. Looking forward to finding out his address

Then I can try the old tried and true "flaming dog shit in a bag" trick to leave on his front porch.
