Bush, and Barbara Bush in Kennebunkport, Maine, following services in this July 7, 2002, file photo. President Bush made his first return since 2004 to Walker's Point, the Bush family oceanfront estate built more than 100 years ago by his great grandfather, for a family gathering and the nuptials of Walker Stapleton, the son of the former president's cousin, Dorothy Walker Stapleton, and Craig Roberts Stapleton, the U.S. ambassador to France. Stapleton is marrying Jenna Bertocchi on Saturday before about 300 guests at a seaside stone church just a minute's drive from Walker's Point. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite/File)

11. Vera Wang is weeping.

Weeping, I tell you.

[yellowcanine]

15. I don't know, I thought Bar was "thrift shop chic." And the argyle

sweater vest on Poppy in JULY was a nice touch.

[unpossibles]

3. ah, the life of a simple Texan brush farmer

not like those New England aristocratic liberal elites....

<cannot roll eyes enough>

[Ganja Ninja]

4. Yup just common plain spoken folks.

The kind you'd like to have a snifter of brandy and an 8 ball of coke with.

[MaineDem]

5. It is a beautiful home but

It's on a point, completely visible from the road. Not private at all.

7. Gaudy Exhibition fits them well!

[demigoddess]

10. do you think it will be under water from global warming any time soon?

just asking!!

[n2doc]

14. Wonder if when sea levels rise

They get the government to relocate their house to higher ground? Confiscated from some local by eminent domain, of course...

6. Too bad that wasn't located at Banda Aceh

The tsunami then could have been seen as a great good as it swept all the evil to sea.

[peekaloo]

8. The Calamityville Horror! Bar seems to be suffering that dreaded,

aging phenomenon known to women as BIF(butt in front).

[Totally Committed]

9. If you've never seen this place in person, you know

the pictures do it no justice. It is beautiful, massive, and in the most elite part of town.

These are the sort of people the Bush administration thinks DESERVE enormous tax cuts so their wealth can "trickle down" on us. Uh-huh. Although I live on a fixed income, I'm not classified as "poor" and I'm not feeling the trickle... are you?

12. Why Maine. Why not some Texas shoreline.

[Ishoutandscream2]

17. Shit, they're down here enough

Plus, Dim Son will probably put his "liberry" here in my hometown of Dallas. Please, just please, take them a few months out of the year.

13. Solar panels- only affordable for he the oil barons.

16. And how does this differ at a macro level from Kennedys at Hyannis Port?

[ljm2002]

18. Please do let us all know...

...the next time a Kennedy tries to pass themselves off as a plain spoken, down home Texas cowboy.

[Southsideirish]

23. As I recall the Kennedy place was frame and just a big house with some

smaller frame cottages around it - i.e. "The Compound" - It wasn't nearly as "grand" as this joint.

[Solo_in_MD]

25. Really, see post #21

[bdamomma]

19. they will never be the Kennedys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nothing but a bunch of wannabees, or do they just look like the Bush Crime Family rightfully so.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

20. Hey, is that pissypants girlfriend in the background?

I guess Pickles is down with threesomes now.

[Ninja Jordan]

21. Bunch of Kennedy wannabes

22. July 7, 2002, file photo: NOTE Not from this trip...

Which makes one wonder, WHERE IS LAURA? hmmm?

[dback]

24. As an Episcopalian, it depresses me to see them outside my church

OK, it's not MY church, but it's galling to see people who seem to be the antithesis of "Christian" sullying it nonetheless.

That is indeed a nice house on Walker's point, though.
