Bush may move to Dallas after leaving White House

President quoted as calling Leppert 'my new mayor'



Mr. Bush, greeting a handful of mayors Wednesday at the White House, stopped when he saw Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert.

"There's my new mayor," the president was quoted as saying.

Asked Friday what he recalled of Mr. Bush's comments, Mr. Leppert said that he didn't hear the statement verbatim and that Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck was perhaps in better earshot as they stood together with other mayors in the Roosevelt Room...


Mr. Bush may also have stated flat-out: "I'm moving to Dallas," according to Mr. Cluck...

1. "Ya see, the Pig Farm has just been a propaganda prop all along. Smirk." - Commander AWOL

"People who know the real me understand that I am a Connecticut 'blueblood' preppy cheerleader deserter homelander, who hates horses, and hates the country. But in order to create the illusion that I am (smirk) 'a regular guy' we been using the Pig Farm prop in Crawford. Smirk. Americans will swallow just about any kind of phony propaganda crap our republicon corporate media borg shoves at them. Like the WMD story (smirk), the 'ranch' (smirk) has been very useful (smirk).

53. Well, I, for one,

Will be more than happy to "quit" him!!

:puke:

[xxqqqzme]

57. That is all truth.

I joined the Crawford vigil when Cindy Sheehan was there. It was crystal clear to me that once out of the WH, there would be no more days @ the pig farm in Crawford. The pig farm being in the middle of no where, off a crumbling asphalt, completely uninteresting, lane & 1/2 county road, is not where one retires. I'm willing to bet bucks that pickles, once saurove's minions found the place in 1999, made non-retirement a condition for moving there.

[ixion]

2. I guess all the brush was cleared on the pig farm

now it's back to being a city slicker. I'm sure Dallas is just over-joyed. :puke:

[tanyev]

5. This does put a damper on my 1/20/09 celebrating.

Oh well, better here than any more years in the White House.

[MetaTrope]

3. Poppy's probably gotten him a condo on Dealey Plaza

[Algorem]

6. he'll be in the window a lot pointing and laughing,drinking "pretzels"

[cosmicdot]

36. .

[no_hypocrisy]

7. * will probably be seated on several corporate boards in Dallas when he leaves DC.

The usual dummy jobs that he's accustomed to holding.

[Diane R]

64. I can't imagine which corporation would be stupid enough to put him on their board to make decisions

[no_hypocrisy]

73. Corporate boards have been known to "award" positions to certain

individuals as a courtesy, as a matter of using the new trustee as a tool of influence and networking, etc. by appealing to his vanity. This new trustee can be outvoted and held harmless by other members of the Board. I conceive * joining a Board would be with this understanding.

[yardwork]

92. I doubt he'd show up for meetings.

[cloud75]

8. i'm from Texas and i remember when he bought that ranch house in

crawford it was about two years before the 2000 election....he never used it before he was president and it has only been a prop for 7 years...as we say in Texas he is all hat no cattle...any real Texan would move from the city to the ranch in your latter years of life not the other way around.

[BearSquirrel2]

40. hmmm... I gotta post this on the mountain bike boards ...

Some folks over there are deluded into thinking that George is a big time mountain biker with sweet singletrack on his ranch. Truth is, he likes to ride a bike on dirt roads for show.

No true mountain biker would move away from his "sweet singletrack".

[Dr.Phool]

9. There goes the neighborhood.

Dallas real estate prices set to plummet.

[CanonRay]

10. What happened to Paraguay?

[Algorem]

12. his Paraguay 'getaway'?

for when it gets "too hot" here

maybe the Dallas place will just be his new fake home

or is there a federal prison in Dallas?

[ldf]

76. paraguay is the ultimate escape route

just in case things get a little to "democracyic", and with to much richly deserved "justiciness" making the little lord pissypants uncomfortable, i would bet the farm that he will have his own private jet waiting at the dallas/ft worth airport, round the clock, with a full tank that would make it all the way to paraquay with no refueling.

and i bet he wouldn't even bother to get clearance to take off...

within 30 minutels of making the decision, he would be out of reach.

[Nay]

13. Isn't that hysterical? For years, many of us here have been saying that

the MOMENT * leaves, the pig farm would be sold and fakeass * would go live in some Texas city. The photo-op pig farm was never anything else but a prop, and we called it years ago.

[calimary]

52. Yes we did! We absolutely called it! We KNEW he was a phony.

Because the pig farm was little more than a facade so he could look like some macho cow-poke wilderness boy out clearing brush trying to look like his would-be "soul mate" ronnie reagan. Maybe ronnie was the "higher father" he gushed about once upon a time. But reagan could at least find his way around a horse - AND wasn't scared of horses, either. Any self-styled cowboy or rancher, once finished with a big city-type job, would break all land speed records getting back to the ranch to live out the rest of his days in the land that really holds his heart. Not this phony-baloney!

And, ladies and gentlemen, there you have the ONLY positive thing I can think of to say about ronald reagan. Thank you very much. Don't forget to tip yer waitress.

[DebbieCDC]

56. Agree 100%

I hated Ray-guns in the extreme, but one thing I always gave him props on was that he COULD ride a horse and he DID run a working ranch.

Not so the windshield cowboy. Why doesn't he move to Baghdad?

[calimary]

80. Good point. They've built another palace there, after all.

Another Baghdad palace for another dictator. Certainly fits. And mccain would make sure he'd be well guarded for 100 years. :eyes:

[Phred42]

14. Then to keep him safe - Texas will Succeed

and W will finally set himself up as KING of W-land.

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. The idiots didn't really think he'd move back to that fake-ass ranch, did they?

:rofl:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

16. Laura made similar statements a few years ago

First Lady Pickles wants a nice, civilized uptown mansion, not the pig farm.

Good luck, Dallas.

[mithnanthy]

17. I'm curious ....

as to where Larva is going to move.

[struggle4progress]

42. I'd guess they'd look for some big estate: maybe one of the spreads near White Rock

I think most places in the Park Cities wouldn't be upscale enough for them

[theredpen]

74. Maybe Turtle Creek area?

He's going to need a big place for the security. I heard Highland Park was excited by this (what a bunch of wankers), but I don't think they realize how messed up the security will be in a neighborhood environment.

[struggle4progress]

79. I guess security along Turtle Creek might have improved:

Testimony of Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker
The testimony of Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker was taken .. on July 23, 1964 .. by .. assistant counsel of the President's Commission ...
Mr. LIEBELER. What is your address?
General WALKER. 4011 Turtle Creek Boulevard ...
Mr. LIEBELER. It is my understanding that on the evening of April 10, 1963, some person fired a shot at you while you were in your home on Turtle Creek ...
General WALKER. I was sitting behind my desk .. at 9 o'clock ... when I heard a blast and a crack right over my head ...

The Warren Commission Report (2 Oct 64)
... Oswald, the Warren Commission states flatly, tried unsuccessfully to assassinate right-wing former Army Major General Edwin Walker in his Dallas home. Says the Commission: "Oswald had been planning his attack on General Walker for at least 1 and perhaps as much as 2 months. He outlined his plans in a notebook and studied them at considerable length before his attack." Before he left home on the night of April 10, Oswald left a lengthy note in Russian for Marina ...

78. Somewhere with good public transportation, I hope. n/t

[yardwork]

93. I think that you're thinking what I'm thinking.

I'm thinking that w will live in a honking big condo in Dallas, and Pickles will live somewhere on the other side of the country or even world.

[rhett o rick]

18. I say he will move to Dubai with Cheney to avoid prosecution. nm

[global1]

20. No Need - They've Already Cut A Deal With Hillary - She Won't Go After Them......nt

44. Has Obama said he'll prosecute them?

I'd love to read the links.

[pattmarty]

19. And sell his ranch????? Who realllllllllly gives a fuck?????

[Joey Liberal]

21. What an insult to Dallas n/t

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

22. There goes the neighborhood

Don't go anywhere near Arlington, Shrub. The business owners are still smarting from your tax scheme for the Rangers stadium.

[Raster]

28. Gee-dumbya and Pickles will be moving to Highland Park.

This has been the plan for years. And yes, the Crawford pig farm was nothing but an elaborate stage set, right down to the cattle purchased from a neighbor for appropriate photo ops.

[tanyev]

29. Not smarting enough.

Or they wouldn't have approved another sweetheart deal for Jerry Jones and his new stadium for the Cowboys.

[RestoreGore]

23. Is there a maximum security prison in Dallas?

[Owl]

51. Good one!

[moondust]

24. Marlboro Man II a city slicker?

Nah, not the dead-or-alive guy. Really?

[Catchawave]

25. His ranch should be turned into a memorial for all who perished

under his regime. 9-11, Katrina, Iraq.....I wonder if there's enough wall space to write all those names?

[Phred42]

27. What a Great Idea.

The ranch would have to be purchased clandestinely of course.

The site should be a museum to everything bush did to kill this country and Democracy.

[Binka]

81. Let's Start By Naming It The Casey Sheehan Memorial Park

Then Cindy should take a blow torch and burn the entire Pig farm/stage set down. Do a ritual Indian cleansing ceremony and then rebuild.

[peaches2003]

26. Laura has just been a prop, too

I read about a year ago I think that Laura was already shopping for the mansion property in the Dallas area. No way was Pickles going back to the pig sty and I'm sure you'll hear little of the 'Cowboy' being there much either. They are total frauds.

[MikeNearMcChord]

30. Jesus! What did the citizens of Dallas deserve to get this?

Losing to the New York Giants in the playoffs?

[cureautismnow]

31. Dallas? Why not Fallujah?

I hear it's lovely this time of year. Besides, doesn't he have unfinished business to take care of there?

[City Lights]

32. The pig farm served its purpose.

This should surprise no one.

[gauguin57]

33. NYT (I think) did a story on how Dallas is the new gay mecca of the Southwest.

Bush had better quit being such a homophobic asshole before he moves down there.

[LibDemAlways]

34. Just the other day on another thread I posted that when

chimp finally was removed kicking and screaming from the WH, he'd move to a gated Dallas community where he'll spend his days at the 19th hole of the local Country Club telling raunchy jokes and depleting the supply of Jack Daniels. Looks about right.

American Sheeple are an incredibly STUPID and LAZY bunch of HEDONISTS with no MORAL compass. Gods save the rest of us.

[Doctor Cynic]

38. So he's selling the Crawford ranch

Given the current meltdown of the housing market, and Bush's unpopularity, I wonder how low his real estate agent has to set the price? Will he be forced to sell it for $1 to Cindy Sheehan?

[rainbow4321]

39. He can say Dallas but it is Highland Park ($$$$$$$$)

where it is that he will be moving.
Sick of him trying to make it look like Dallas likes him. Dallas County went 49% for Kerry in 2004, kicked out all of it's repuke judges in 2006 (local repuke blamed chimp and the current puke regime for this), Dallas county voters also elected a Hispanic lesbian for county sheriff in 2004 (any one care to ask him about "his" county sheriff?)



Remember when chimp had a televised "rally" the eve of the 2004 election and it as shown on the news as a Dallas rally for the fool? He snuck into Highland Park literally at midnight and attended a closed door, ticket-only gathering (hand picked group, in other words) at SMU which is pretty much in Highland Park and made it look like he had tons of Dallas supporters. Meanwhile Kerry was holding huge outdoor, public rallies in cities around the country. THAT is something chimp could not get away with in downtown Dallas.
It is SMU that is supposed to build his library so he will never even have to leave Highland Park, it will be spitting distance from his house, no doubt.

[CBHagman]

88. Sounds like he hates Dallas residents as he does New Yorkers.

The Republican National Convention was held in New York City in 2004, and security measures rendered the city, as a New York friend of mine put it, "a concentration camp." Wheelchair users (!) were made to go blocks out of their way in the name of providing protection for the RNC.

After all that, Bush came into the city just to accept the nomination and then beat a hasty retreat into Pennsylvania (then counted as a swing state but won by Kerry). Bush might have well just put on an I hate New York t-shirt and have had done with it. Heaven knows the feeling was mutual.

[AndyTiedye]

41. I Have a Better Idea. Bush Should Move to…

The Hague. The Palace of Peace awaits him.

The International Criminal Court will offer him a most appropriate welcome

Secure accommodations will be provided, of course.

[lutefisk]

43. Junior can finally drop the act. The question is what happens to it?

I predict a "foundation" made up of Bush "supporters" will buy it and Junior will reap a huge windfall - kind of like he did with the Texas Rangers windfall.

I think we all knew this would happen since back in 2001. Junior has no connection with rural life or Crawford.

[lutefisk]

60. In my above post, "it" means the "ranch." ...n/t

:hi:

[sarcasmo]

45. Doesn't he really mean Paraguay.?

[Solly Mack]

46. Dubya does Dallas.

[lutefisk]

61. LOL! That'll be a cakewalk after fornicating the world for 8 years!

Very funny!

[fshrink]

47. As long as I don't see his stupid face and

hear his stupid comments on everything, that's fine by me.

[olddad56]

48. he'll probably move in with Osama.

[Faygo Kid]

49. How about we reopen Abu Ghraib and he can move there?

That's just the place for him.

Actually, too good for him.

[lunatica]

50. I wonder what the people in Crawford think

The ranch will have to be gutted because it's got so much security and communications equipment. All state of the art no doubt. It probably has spy cameras and audio equipment in every single room. There was a reason why he always invited the leaders of other countries to the ranch. To spy on them. It wouldn't surprise me if they tore the whole thing down just to keep the secrets secret. Maybe there will be a bad fire that burns it down while no one's around around next December or January, just in time for the Bushes to leave the Whitehouse.

[mnhtnbb]

54. Better shopping for Pickles in Dallas. Bet she can't wait to get into Needless Markup.

That's Neiman Marcus.

[RamboLiberal]

67. I read last year that he was not going to sell the pig farm

That he was going to split his time between the pig farm and Dallas. I imagine Pickles doesn't want to live at the pig farm full time while Bushie still wants to get back to his bike riding and brush clearing. I do think this guy is an exercise junkie. But I do think he bought the pig farm for show. As someone else said he is all hat and no cattle.

It has widely been thought Bush will return to Dallas next year after his term expires. He lived there when he was part-owner of the Texas Rangers, before becoming governor of Texas. Southern Methodist University in Dallas, the alma mater of Laura Bush, is the lone finalist to be the site of Bush's presidential library.

Bush is also expected to live some of the time at his ranch in Crawford, about 120 miles south of Dallas.

http://cbs11tv.com/local/President.Bush.Dallas.2.638337.html

[lutefisk]

68. If he loved pig farms, why didn't he buy one earlier?

That thing - along with all the phony love of bike riding in the dirt, fishing in the fake fish'n hole, and the fake love of chain saw'n - is history. It was all part of his contract, but that gig is up in 12 months. And the Chimperdrinker is counting the days!

[RamboLiberal]

85. No I still contend he is an exercise junkie

My bet is he will keep the pig farm. I do think he really likes the place and Pickles basically tolerates it.

[lutefisk]

105. Dallas is closer to his (their) social circle.

He doesn't exercise on the ranch that often, anyway. Just looking at the timeline of his life and residences it is easy to predict that Junior has no interest in living in any place like Crawford. He can build a million dollar gym in his suburban home and ride his little bike with the full power trip of SS protection.

The pig farm is history. The Chimp cashes in!

[krispos42]

70. I hope Dallas treats him as well as they've treated other presidents

[TankLV]

84. yes - you still can - we feel for you - we really do...

[Tight_rope]

87. HELL WOULD BE THE BEST PLACE FOR HIM TO BE COMFORTABLE!

But as long as it's not here in Houston...I guess my air will be ok to breath.

[SomeGuyInEagan]

89. Seriously? I had Dubai in the office pool.

Seriously, I see no way he can live in the U.S. without harassment wherever he goes. If in the U.S., wouldn't he have to spend his entire life outside of earshot and the eyes of the public?

Even Repubs I know are mad about what has happened to the country and their party over the past eight years - they're not going to stick up for him in any meaningful way, they are already working hard to distance themselves from him (which breaks one of the basic tenets of their party).

I figured Uncle Dick would set him up with a gig with Haliburton in Dubai ... or just dump him entirely, now that he is finished with him.

90. I was hoping the Hague would be his new home.

[WistfulAssassin]

101. Well, Texas is a red state

It's where he belongs.

[rainbow4321]

106. Red state but in a 49% blue county..

in 2004, anyway. Can't wait to see what the county does this time around (after kicking out all repuke judges and electing all Dem ones in 2006).

I doubt we will see him strolling the streets of Dallas, probably won't leave Highland Park city limits unless limo'd to an occassional repuke gathering (if they will even invite him by then) or his "library" opening.
