need to ask Molly Ivins if that shack they're passn off as W's home is real

[sam sarrha]

i cant really believe the Bu$h's really lived in a shack..

it looks like they're trying to make him look like a down down home country boy.. besides i didnt see any blown up frogs..

was that a summer cabin.. or what.

1. you mean that pig farm outside of waco?

it was bought for the 2000 campaign. nice for country homey photo-ops.

3. Exactly Right! n/t

[Kutjara]

2. It's probably Shrubyah's own house...

...that his daddy had built just for him. Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't relocated from the estate of one of the family mansions.

4. Midland Texas is one of the richest towns in America.

That's what Molly Ivins says about the place * moved to after graduating from an elitist college in the northeast.

The bushes are fricken rich! Always have been. Always will be until someone throws their tails in jail and justice gets served.

5. One of many homes

owned by the Bushes.

6. I read the original propaganda piece

It mentioned his "blueblood background" without actually naming his father Prescott Buxh. It said he moved there from Connecticut to oversee a new oil venture. (He didn't buy in with "Bars" good looks either)

It said they only lived there for a couple years until they moved into their new place. I suspect that's how long it took to build the new palace.

They try to look sooo humble, but I think I'd like to see HWs birthplace too.

7. he's a northeastern elite through and through

born and raised in Connecticut. Went to prep school, Yale, Harvard, etc...

8. Actually, born in Conn, but raised in Texas

I'm reading Fortunate Son right now. HW and Barbara moved to Texas shortly after the evil little bundle was born.

9. They put the last nail in that "ranch house" the day before the 2000

election. I don't even think the paint was dry. It is a movie set. And the town of Crawford didn't exist until the ranch was built.
