George & Laura Will Seperate After Election - The Globe Says

Well the Globe Magazine is at it again, and this time they may be onto something. Their cover story states that Laura Bush will get a big house in Highland Park, (a super-rich suburb of Dallas) while George will live on the ranch. This jibes with the story I have heard from several folks in the real estate biz. The buss there is that Laura made the selection of the house herself. Furthermore, when asked on a local media outlet if she planned to live on the ranch in Crawford, Texas, she replied, "George might but I am living in Dallas!"

So are the divorce rumors true? My bet is that they are, at least a separation is in the cards. Why? The Globe says it's because of Dubbya's drinking, and that sounds pretty plausible. Have you seen him lately? He looks terrible. I know the office of the president weighs on a person, but Mr. Bush looks like he has been rode hard and put away wet. It's the wet part that makes most sense to me.

So far this is all rumors and stories in the supermarket tabloids, but in the recent past those same tabloids have had real national scoops. Look at the story about John Edwards affair. First really broke in the National Enquirer. You have to wonder, and the fact that the Bush family has become the fodder of the Globe shows just how far they have fallen in public opinion.

A month or two after 9/11 no one would have dreamed of writing anything scandalous about them, but today, it's open season not just because of his lame-duck status, but his popularity. He may turn out to be the most despised president in history. Time will tell.
