Karl Rove Lists Washington DC home, Heads to Texas

Date:July 30, 2009 | Author:Whitney Tyner | Category:Celebrity Real Estate

Karl Rove, former Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush, is joining the ranks of another high-profile Republican by seeking greener pastures and a simpler life in Texas.

Like his friend, W, Rove has decided to return to Texas and has put his Washington D.C. home, located at 4925 Weaver Ter NW, Washington DC, 20016, on the market for $1,585,000. He purchased it in 2001 for $799,000. Rove’s Federal-style home was built in 1968 and is a spacious 4,529 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths.

According to the Reliable Source, Rove and his wife, Darby, built a beach house in Florida a few years ago, but an aide says he’ll be moving to Texas, where he attended college and got his political footing.

I bet if you dig in the basement you will find the bodies of all of the puppies. Karl Rove has to eat a live puppy each day to keep his bargain with Satan.

We’ve got no State income tax, Governor Perry, the Bushes, and now Rove, let alone Willie and ZZTop. I’m a MI transplant and ready to let the Union go it’s own way… Here’s to the Republic of TEXAS!

I heard Rove “pals around” with Republicans, hey Bob in
Texas – if you want Rove, good riddance, he has lied, made his money and couldn’t care less about the people he destroyed, especially idiots like you. Texas wants to be it’s own Republic . . good, the Capital will be in Mexico City but I suspect is you get hit by another hurricane, you will come running for handouts, all hat and no cattle, eh? Bob?

Rove coming to Texas??? YIKES, another crook…I’m getting the heck out of this state and going back to Illinois…I’d like to see Texas succeed from the Union (who needs them?) so I can watch how long the Texans who haven’t been in bed with the oil companies survive without federal money.

Smart move. I guess he’ll need to stay in Texas to keep the war crimes prosecutors at bay. I hear Texas has no treaty with The Hague, so he won’t be extradited from there.

“succeed from the Union”

HAHAHA! Spoken like a true liberal.

Nah, that was a libertarian. Liberals can spell. Libertarians, on the other hand, have a good sense of humor when it comes to malapropisms; liberals are far too serious to make fun of themselves.

Be interesting to see what this piece of (in)famous Washington, DC real estate sells for.
