Highland Park (Dallas 75205) scuttlebutt: Bu$hes looking for house in HP.

[DemoTex]

Good credible source. Lookout Dallas! The Bu$hies are not really Crawford people, after all. The lilly-white Dallas Country Club (which broke out in spontaneous parties of celebration on 11/22/63) must be rejoicing. Dubya as a member! Too damn cool.

[peekaloo]

1. Early retirement home?

But I thought the Club had a "no superstar" rule.


Compound W will be turned into 'Murka's Mecca.

[calimary]

3. "Compound W" ! GREAT one!

LOL! Sure does fit.

[DemoTex]

4. Good point ... they do.

But that rule was meant for Negro athletes. The Dallas Country Club has a "no hats" rule too. Basically, it reads that no Negro with a floppy hat -- unless a gardener, bar-tender, cook, or other such servant -- shall appear on the property in a floppy hat. I exaggerate, but what the hell. I push the point.

2. There goes the neighborhood! NT

[candy]

5. Wow! Nice neighborhood I hear.

[Zen Democrat]

6. The Cheneys will probably buy next door.

[lavenderdiva]

8. I believe I am correct in recollecting this tidbit...

The Cheneys had to SELL their main home in Highland Park, Dallas when Bush nominated him for Vice-President. Problem being that the President and Vice-President aren't supposed to come from the same state, in this case Texas. So, he went through some shenanigans to say that he was from Wyoming, when his actual domicile was in Highland Park. He had had a vacation home in Wyoming for several years, so he just said that was his main domicile (lies), and he was sworn in. The Cheneys had lived in Highland Park, Dallas for several years, and paid taxes there. Yet another cover-up...:evilfrown:

7. How can we lower the property value in that neighborhood?

[realFedUp]

9. what a surprise...guess Brookhollow will have to install more security.

[SoCalifer]

10. Dallas?

The only place suitable where Bush should live is in a 8x8 cage at camp x-ray in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

[kskiska]

11. That'll give the missus an excuse to spend weeks at a time

at the new house "decorating," the way she did with the "ranch" house. She must be relieved to be leaving that godforsaken pig farm.

[liveoaktx]

12. Lady on Democracy Now being interviewed (a Repub) said

that the Bush's are members of the Highland Park Methodist Church and that she's seen Lump attend sometimes.

Isn't Highland Park Methodist the church that had that minister about 10 years ago that tried to kill his wife, she's now a veg in Tyler, and he dumped his kids and ran off with his mistress to California?

[jburton]

14. I think that was First United Methodist in downtown Dallas

Walker Railley (sp?) is the guy you're thinking of.

I'm sure he would come out of obscurity if Bush wanted him as a personal counsellor.

[anarchy1999]

20. You are correct. Two different churches. HP Methodist is located right

in front of SMU. Lovers Lane or Mockingbird, I think Mockingbird. The other is more downtown, just north of. I was thinking about good "ole" Walker just the other day and how far Dallas churches haven't advanced since then.

[fooj]

13. My deepest condolences!

[ChickMagic]

15. Oh just great.

As if it isn't already hard enough to navigate through HP if you don't have the right car. My sister lived there for a few years - she and her hubby were having problems. They separated and she went out with a guy and wound up necking like a teenager in the car in front of her house. The HP cops stopped and arrested him for "messin' with a married woman."

[underpants]

16. If it's true I'll bet he starts drinking again-Why not?

They are systematically giving the back of their hands to the Christian Right, Pro Life (phoned it in from across the street), and now all those people who bought the "rancher" bit.

[chiffon]

17. I hope I'm gone by then-- they might be my neighbor. Oh horrors!

[Bouncy Ball]

18. DAMN,.

I thought for sure they'd settle in Houston. Damn damn damn.

I don't want those assholes in my city.

[anarchy1999]

19. Comes as no surprise at all. It's where they were living prior to his

"royal governship" of Texas. "They're back" comes to mind. A horror flick in the real, Bush and Laura back in HP. Rejoice.
