Bush looks to abandon fake ranch. No longer needs prop

[DogPoundPup]

Hee hee. We always knew he'd never stay there as the political necessity would disappear. From video smuggled out of a private fundraiser:

Then, making light of the foreclosure crisis, he said: "And then we got a housing issue... not in Houston, and evidently not in Dallas, because Laura's over there trying to buy a house. I like Crawford but unfortunately after eight years of sacrifice, I am apparently no longer the decision maker."

How cute. He thought he was the decision maker when it was really Karl Rove who told him to get that campaign prop in Crawford.

4. I wonder how much money

he's gonna lose on that real estate venture? Not that he can't afford it, but it's just another example of his ineptitude.

5. Bush has a history of selling stuff for a massive profit.

Regardless of the actual underlying worth.

I seem to remember the sale of his portion of the Texas Rangers was an incredible profit. I believe he sold out of several oil firms for much more than it was worth.

6. Texas is full of star struck idiots

with more money than good sense who will take it off his hands at a huge profit, just so they can invite other idiots over for a BBQ once a year and show it off as a trophy.

8. If I'm not mistaken, much of the money that bought him out of certain things...

was Saudi.

[Warpy]

13. That's true, too

It might eventually be a hunting lodge for some Sheikh.

[Hekate]

19. Probably not star-struck so much as pragmatically greasing the BFEE's palms...

Little Georgie got mucho money on failing or near-failing business ventures because he was the son of the VP and later President Poppy.

18. A liberal/anti-Bush group should buy it

And turn it into the anti-Bush Library!

7. Good! Get out of my state you lowlife, piece of trash!

Please tell me he is moving to some other state.

[lonestarnot]

11. As far as I remember, Dallas is in Tejas.

[Rex]

14. Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

I didn't want to read the article out of fear he was moving to Houston or Dallas. GOD. Grrrrreeeeeeaaaattt. :(

[lonestarnot]

15. Sorry.

:(

[ColbertWatcher]

9. Is this just asn excuse for him to talk about his wife?

And deflect attention away from rumors that he's still banging Condi?

[Canuckistanian]

10. I hear they're shpping the pigs back in as we speak

And the appraised value just went up by $132,000.

[PinkyisBlue]

12. He got too tired clearing all that brush.

Now he can concentrate on his balance and try not to fall off his bicycle.

16. How does Laura have time to look for a house?

Isn't she supposed to be solving the problem of gang violence?

[Historic NY]

17. What about his wood cutting business? He must have a ...

going out of business sale.

[Vickers]

20. I've been to Crawford...it's pretty much a one-stop-sign-town.

No wonder Laura wants to get out of there...bad memories about intersections I reckon.

[timtom]

21. This literally made me giggle resoundingly

I mean, we're talking MAJOR teehee's here.

What a asshat. (indefinite article purposely without "n")
What a tool.

[JerseygirlCT]

23. Phew. The Deciderer finally gets away from those scary horses! nt
