Bush wants gate on route to Dallas home (payed by Federal funds)

[sabra]

Source: Dallas Morning News

Just like his father, President George W. Bush will return to Texas when he leaves office.

Federal money would pay for a gate near the Bushes' home, says Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm.

And just like his father, he wants a gate to be installed along a public street to limit access to his neighborhood.

Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm confirmed Monday that the younger Bush is seeking to have a gate placed somewhere along the entrance to streets leading to his future Preston Hollow address.

The plan, which requires approval by the Dallas City Council, isn't expected to encounter much opposition at City Hall, and the Bushes' neighbors seem to be on board.

...

The primary reason for the gate is security, of course. But neighbors are also concerned that the Bushes will attract crowds of innocent, if annoying, sightseers to the once quiet and exclusive cul-de-sac of Daria Place, as well as to the equally tony dead-end street that leads to it, Daria Drive.

1. We'll they will be cutting his secret service.....

I don't know why he don't pack it up and move to parguay!

[MineralMan]

18. No indictment...No escape.

That's about it.

[louis-t]

2. Worried about sightseers bearing shoes?

Millionaires should not be allowed to have gates put up at taxpayer expense. :mad:

[tanyev]

7. They don't want any shoes thrown unless they're Manolo Blahniks, dahling.

[louis-t]

29. Or Bruno Maglis

:eyes:

[bobd0]

3. Google map daria drive dallas tx and check out the little mansions. nt

[Submariner]

4. Do you realize that by Googling that TX address and pulling up a map

you probably got picked up by an FBI internets terrorists search bot, and will probably be on a no-fly list by the end of the day, do you? Can you hear the black helicopter sin the background yet? :rofl:

[bobd0]

26. Yep, but that's OK. I'm on so many lists already another one hardly matters.

And I won't be flying anywhere unless I can flap my arms and become airborne so they can take their no-fly list, roll it up into a nice tight tube, and shove it where visual flight rules don't apply. :)

[Soylent Brice]

5. of course he does.

taxpayers have footed the bill for the war, corporate plundering, and just about everything else. why not this too.

[Island Blue]

6. I think Bush sould spend his retirement behind a gate too,

however I was thinking more along the lines of a prison gate.

[bdamomma]

15. a prison gate would be more appropriate for this criminal.

[LibDemAlways]

8. If chimp is so concerned about privacy, why not buy in a

gated community to begin with? Surely there must be exclusive gated enclaves in Dallas. This is really WTF?

[merh]

13. Hell, the man has the money

he should pay for his own damn gate.

I still don't like it that my tax dollars went to build the crawford whitehouse and the cheney wyoming hidey hole.

[truthisfreedom]

9. Found it... (pic)

[Jefferson23]

10. One day he may receive a tap on his shoulder, "you're under arrest."

That is my deepest hope anyway. Maybe he thinks a gate will keep out the truth.

[merh]

11. The neighbors are afraid of the the rain of shoes

I would be too if I was unfortunate enough to live near the worst president in history.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

12. Google Earth Daria Drive.Preston Hollow, Dallas TX...nice digs...isn't that where Kenny Boy Lay live

[TEXASYANKEE]

14. Stay away!!!

Gawd forbid that Bush actually "rub shoulders" with us regular folks. There are any number of very expensive gated-communities in and around Dallas, and they could have purchased something there without raising an eyebrow or inconveniencing the entire neighborhood. But we all know that the Shrub cares nothing about others.

[muntrv]

16. Chimpy thinks he's King George and doesn't have to see the common folk.

[quidam56]

17. The Secret Service will be glad to see him go in ten more years

this is going to be fun to watch. We should be paying for him to be protected in a prison somewhere with gates and razor wire. This man is a terrorist, he sure loves blowing things up that don't belong to him. http://www.wisecountyissues.com Bush has blasted, bombed and bulldozed Appalachia right into Third World America.

[benld74]

19. Calling all black helicopters - here it tis - Google maps

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

[47of74]

20. I hope I see the day when he lives behind the gate to this place...

[Politicalboi]

21. Me too

That is where he and Cheney and the rest of his clan belong. And to pay off the deficit he and Cheney should be carted around the world in a booth where you can throw your shoe at them for $5.00.

[AndyTiedye]

28. How About This Gate

The U.N. Prison at the Hague. Home of convicted war criminals

[47of74]

31. That works too.

[damntexdem]

22. I think this would be fine if the gate could only be controlled from the outside.

;-)

[Arctic Dave]

23. Then someone can hang a sign on it sayng, "worlds biggest bag of shit lives here"

[jobycom]

24. Good. Lock him in. nt

[Wizard777]

25. Fine! We'll pay Robert Gates to stand in his street and tell him where he went wrong with Iraq.

[grannie4peace]

27. they need to build a cage for him & put him on exhibition for awhile!!!!!

[sarcasmo]

30. I rec this because the silver spoon BITCH thinks he is entitled to his gate.

33. Fuck it - give him his gate - just as long as he goes away and leaves us alone

[UpInArms]

and destroy everyone and everything silently and secretly

[Taverner]

49. Yeah I know

But the sooner the Dim Son leaves, the better

[liberalmuse]

34. We really need to bring back the guillotine.

I'm so fed up I'm ready to explode.

[Doctor_J]

43. Save a basket for Harry

[aquart]

51. The guillotine is a kind of gate.

Only the head gets thru. I feel that would appeal to George.

[geomon666]

35. They should gate the whole property.

So the piece of shit can't come out ever again.

[5X]

36. put the lock on the outside, and he doesn't get a copy

of the key.

[LiberalinNC]

37. Fuck the gate, give him a jail cell instead!

[barbtries]

38. fuck him

let him pay for it. i'd pay for bars to be built up on all 4 sides of his ass as long as i knew there was no door, no key, no way out, forever.

[Historic NY]

40. We used public funds for the pig farm where he should go to cut wood.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

41. ...or make license plates.

Think of it...the Crawford Pig Farm, turned into Gitmo USA.

[Historic NY]

44. I would be in favor of fencing off the entire area & making it a home prison for one.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

45. I would make it a prison for one and put him on a permanent diet of soup for one

Cup 'o' Soup and hard labor. I like the sound of that.

:rofl:

[Doctor_J]

42. Who's going to stop him?

:shrug:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

46. I heard that a month after the fence is installed, Harry Reid is going to publicly criticize it.

:rofl:

[ProgressiveProfessor]

47. The Government pays to secure the home of the president and former presidents

and other perks.

Obama's will be too, now, and when he is retires.

[jmowreader]

48. The Secret Service insisted on this

Just the number of people wanting to throw shoes at Bush was appalling.

[Thor_MN]

50. He is asking to live behind iron bars?

I'm pretty sure we can accomodate that request...

[damntexdem]

52. Are we sure he can pay his mortgage?

As for the gate, I'm all for it so long as it is controlled only from the outside.

[struggle4progress]

54. "...An aide to first lady

Laura Bush declined to comment on the gate, calling it a security matter."...

You mean pickles isn't going to continue her wildly successful program w/ inner city gangs? I am sooooooo f*cking disappointed!

[burrowowl]

55. Sentence and jail Bu$hCo and
