Not Breaking News: Bushes Still Moving to Dallas After White House

By Robert Wilonsky, Wednesday, Dec. 3 2008 @ 12:42PM

Categories: News You Can Actually Use, Actually
laura and tree.jpgSo confusing. Didn't we already know George and Laura Bush were moving to Dallas once he the president left the White House in January? Haven't they said this a thousand times -- most recently, like, Sunday? Well, apparently we need further confirmation, which came today at the White House as the First Lady was introducing "A Red, White and Blue Christmas," which seems awful original. Said Laura: "We will be moving to Dallas in January, and there might be a new house coming along. So I think that's where we'll spend our Christmas money." Ho-ho-haw. Adds ABC News: "Though it sounds as though they've picked out a new house, the First Lady's spokeswoman Sally McDonough said Mrs. Bush and her husband do 'not have occupancy yet' of a home." I should think not. --Robert Wilonsky

Update: Here's the video of Laura Bush making yet another "unofficial" announcement concerning the couple's pending move to Dallas. And as the cold wind blows in from the north on this Thursday night, this second update: Candy Evans on DallasDirt believes she's got the details concerning the quite-possible Bush manse off Walnut Hill Lane and the Dallas North Tollway. Turns out, my parents already knew this, from a friend of a friend who lives next door. Asked Mom tonight, "So, do you know where the Bushes are moving?" Yes, Mom. Jeez.

Billy Barnacle says:

The thought of the Bush Crime Family moving back to Dallas to put the final nail in our
attempts to bring in conventions makes me feel all pink....as in code pink. While of a majority of his 20 percent fan base is located in this area, not all of us are so enchanted. He admitted on ABC, the Iraq war was/is a mistake. A "do over" that can not be done over. As a result of this lie, how could any rational person see him as anything other than the mass murderer that he is. Now before you Bushies get your panties in a right wing wad and start trashing Obama, you have to remember, Obama is not the President yet. The buck stops with one man, and on man only and his name is George W. Bush. People around the world, in masses hate him, and those that don't hate him today, will with time. When the dust clears, and even if only 25 percent of the truth comes out, it will be enough to convict him.The Bush Crime Family must be held accountable for their crimes just like Libby, Gonzales, Miers, DeLay, Gramm, and any major publication that knowingly hid information about the war from the public.

"Bush Crime Family". Really? I mean.... really?

Billy Barnacle says:

Lakewooder, your lack of a sense of humor proves that you voted for Bush. I am sure you found it okay to impeach Clinton for a blow job but see Bush as a saint for taking us into a war BASED ON A LIE. The result.
Mass murder. Not only of Americans, but of the innocent Iraqis. You will never see it because you have choose to ignore the obvious and you are helped along that path by living here, in the city that shot Kennedy but welcomes Bush with open arms.
Trust me, everyday more and more people who have lost loved ones or limbs, or suffer mental disabilities based on this war are coming to realize they were there for naught.
Just look around you. Are you better off today than you were 8 years ago. How about the child that will grow up without a Mother or Father? The parent who will never get over the loss of a young son or daughter.
Those that return from this war with such rage that they will continue to kill. You elected the most ignorant man based on his religion or that you thought you might want to have a beer with him. This country will never be the same during our lifetime, our children's lifetime, or our grandchildrens lifetime.
You can take crappy shots at the messenger all you want. It doesn't change the facts.
They are there in front of your nose. Take you head out of the sand and take a look at them. If you think I am crazy, then you are living in a crazy world because you are full of shit if you think that the Bush haters are small in numbers. It is very much the opposite.

Read what our friends in Europe think. Maybe just try reading what people outside of the Bible belt think.

Bashing the messenger will not bring a childs father back to life.

We must never ever let this happen again in America.

And yes, I do mean the Bush Crime Family, and yes they are toads as well.

Oh and to show I can be as cornball as the next chickenshit. Hey Lakewooder, the sand called and said they need your head back.

religion of bacon says:

Such as yourself?

are coming to realize they were there for naught

Yeah, just never you mind about all those mass graves they found in Iraq. Those people had it a lot better under Saddam. Who needs democracy and women's rights when you can have a nice, stable, murderous dictatorship?

Those that return from this war with such rage that they will continue to kill.

Sorry, I didn't realize that you were a vet.

You elected the most ignorant man based on his religion or that you thought you might want to have a beer with him.

Speaking of ignorant...

This country will never be the same during our lifetime, our children's lifetime, or our grandchildrens lifetime.

What a breathtakingly vacuous statement.

You can take crappy shots at the messenger all you want.

We weren't really asking for permission, but thanks anyway.

It doesn't change the facts.

Oh, are you going to refer to actual facts in your next comment? Because I haven't seen any so far. Actually, you were talking about "if only 25 percent of the truth comes out," which is an admission that none of your ranting accusations (e.g. that Bush lied about the reasons for going into Iraq), have been shown to have any basis in fact. Because if these were facts, the impeachment would have already begun, right?

But hey, thanks for playing, and watch your blood pressure...

Oh God, that little puppy dog is back. It was kinda cute when she first began following me around, but now it's just sad and pathetic. I wish she'd return to her owner. I'm sure he wants her to come home. Then again, maybe he's grown tired of her too.

I think that puppy isn't quite right in the head, so be nice to her, or better yet, just ignore her. And if it looks like she's going to bite you, don't worry, she hasn't got any teeth. The only thing you have to watch out for is that she tends to shit all over the place.

Wanna Wooder you point out the obvious because you are as stupid as "W", your man crash. No problem with that, everybody needs a hero I guess. And how big is that ego you have? What, another person in DFW counld not find you and BaconAss as a couple of stupid douche bags? On come now, you under estimate your value as a 100% full grade douche. And I don't post under other names, chucklenuts. Its always Toots.

..............and BaconAss.....I knew you could not help but come to the defense of your much younger (you always did like them boys nerdy with narrow shoulders and a fat ass) "companion". I always knew that underneath that stupid, cross eyed, crooked teeth and pin head face of yours that you where a stand up person. Maybe you can fulfill your dream of being a security guard at the new Bush Library. But don't do it thinking you'll get to hang with "W", he doesn't read.

Toots/Anonymous/puppy dog:

I was nice to you yesterday and offered you a little nugget of advice... but I believe it's worth repeating this afternoon. Please do yourself a favor and save what little remains of your dignity and stop while you're behind. Your grammatically challenged blathering rants have grown tiresome and unimaginative.

PS: If you can't find your way home, I'm sure Billy Barnacle will consider taking you in. I think the two of you would get along nicely.

Good luck!

Robert

I assume that message is directed at the Bush Crime Family. They need to learn some civility before they drag their tired crooked asses back to Dallas.

religion of bacon says:

Billy, isn't it interesting how whenever someone actually picks apart a rabid Bush-hater's pseudo-factual rant, the Bush-hater immediately falls back on throwing vicious insults at them and declaring that they're not worth responding to? Oh well, they don't call it Bush Derangement Syndrome for nothing...

Toots, could you please go project your gay fantasies onto someone else? I mean, if you're gay, that's fine, but you don't seem to be dealing with it very well.

Lakewooder says:

I'm really sorry Robert.... I just get all worked up sometimes. It's just... well, ya know, kinda hard going through life as a "lakeshithole", "100% full grade douche", "stupid as Bush" "Fuckface", "liar and a whore" with a "man crash" on "BaconAss". There, I said it.... wow, that was cathartic... I feel so much better.

OK everybody, gather round, hold hands..... and a one and a two and a three.... Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya, kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya, kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya, ohhhhhh Lord.....

Sorry Roberto........you know how it is, the 'ol "its not MY fault, everybody else is stupid" mentality. I'll take the blame since I'm the only one with a set of balls..

New here...Really...

It is true that this country impeached a president over a blowjob and a DNA stained a blue dress.

Why didnt we impeach "W" because of his lies?

Where was the Iraqi threat? I could care less how Saddam treated his people. The real threat is still out there. Almost thinking we are the ones harboring him sometimes.

We can find naked sunbathers on Google Earth but cannot find the man behind the worst event in our history?

Actually, Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. He wasn't impeached for the subject matter that he was being questioned about.

Nice.

Using your logic, once W is out, Obama should be able to find Osama. I hope he does, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
