Does Dick Cheney Still Have a House in Texas?

[Stephanie]

Remember when he hurried to switch his residency to Wyoming in 2000? Does he still own property in TX?

1. he can get Trent Lott's contractors...

...to help rebuild the porch.

2. During their first campaign, I read that both he and Lynn's drivers

license listed Halliburton's headquarters as their address, which would be impossible for you and I to try and do. That's probably one reason it was so easy for him to switch his residency to his home state. Crooked to the core.

3. He has a house in Hell.

Which he has been building for YEARS.

6. Nah, I heard it's just a tiny apartment waiting for him; that's why he

wants to buy that mansion now, cause he's gonna be cramped for the rest of eternity.

4. He sold the house in Highland Park, but this is interesting:

There is a wide trail of lies told by Cheney. There is the Iraqi connection, the Enron ties, the India deal, the so on and so on. Cheney also lied about not living in Texas as late as November 2000 in apparent violation of the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He didn't sell his Dallas-area mansion to a major Republican donor until Nov. 30, 2000, according to deed records. I have been by that $2.7 million home several times since Cheney sold it and have never seen any evidence anyone occupying it. The owner, Dianne T. Cash, owns another million-dollar home in Highland Park, one of the wealthiest suburbs in the country. So, she needs two mansions in the same tiny suburb, huh? From Sept. 2000 until June 2001, Cash - an appropriate name for a Republican, right? - gave a whopping $229,433 to national Republican organizations, in addition to buying Cheney's house, according to federal records.

Another lie concerns another basic piece of public information with a paper trail: Cheney's Texas driver's license. Dick's license is still active but lists his address as 500 N. Akard Street in Dallas, which is where he worked at Halliburton, not his home on Euclid Avenue in Highland Park. Lynne Cheney's driver's license lists the same Akard address. Texas law requires residency addresses to be placed on licenses. Even someone as paranoid as billionaire H. Ross Perot - remember his weird reason for getting out of the 1992 presidential election because the Bush campaign supposedly planned to disrupt his daughter's wedding? - has his home address, not work address, on his Texas driver's license. Even Bush listed the Texas governor's mansion - which was where he lived and goofed off, er, worked - on his license. Other high profile politicians - such as former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, who is running as a Democrat for U.S. Senate, and his Republican challenger, Attorney General John Cornyn - list their home addresses, not work. Why were both Cheneys allowed to be above the law, once again?

5. * and the missus are known to have been real estate shopping

in Highland Park. She has no plans to retire to the "ranch" once they're out of D.C.

7. Yeah, I can't wait for that.

At least we won't have to see him on TV anymore. Maybe I can forget that he's only a few miles down the road from me if I just don't have to look at him every day.

[Stephanie]

9. So she's holding the house for him until Lynne can retire there.

Alone, presumably.

Thanks for that info.

8. After Rita...

I will await for the Dick Cheney snarl and someone in the background yelling "Go fuck yourself Dick Cheney!" it will be heavenly.
