I wouldn't be surprised though Bsmart. May be no way to know for sure. Property was probably bought in a different name.

That was the blogger I referred to above. But I agree it doesn't make much sense. First of all, he did not get the land for cheap -- it was the going rate at the time. Secondly according to the property appraiser it was a direct transaction from the Rosemary Beach Land Company to Rove and his wife in 2002. My guess is that this blogger's "source" had St. Joe confused with Leucadia National Corporation, which apparently was the holding company that owned the original parcel and created the Rosemary Beach Land Company to develop it along with DPZ.

What's funny is that Rove is like a lot of homeowners in SoWal ... apparently, most of his net worth as reported on his annual financial statement is tied up in his Rosemary house!

Still, $165K? in 2002 sounds a bit light.

But the lot is waaaaay in the back. We have friends who paid $180K for a couple of lots almost that far back, a couple of months after Rove. So it can't be that far off. (Once again: NOT a Rove fan. I am happy to blame him for many, many things.)

I wasn't sure where it was. :idontno:

Rove is one of the most powerful men in Washington. I call him the Bush Whisperer. I don't blame him for wanting to live in Sowal though. I like seeing what my tax dollars go to :D Perhaps if he visits more he'll be happier and may use his influence to serve the people instead of screw the people.

Just a thought, please don't take too much offense if you are a fan of his.

Hey Katie!

While you are at it, give us a quick summary of James Carville.

Who is he?

He can't match the history Rove has or the influence he carries. Bill was much more influenced by Hillary than Carville. Carville does have a louder mouth and was in the spotlight more than Rove.

Rove prefers pulling strings in private...always reminds me of when Dorothy meets the Wizard..."Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

Does anyone else think Rove may be the illegitimate love child of Petunia Pig and Boss Hog?

Bob, is that a fact? I googled, but so far can't find any back up for that info. Could you let me know where you read/heard that?

That's correct. I'm glad, and not surprised, he has property there to protect.

Link! I want a link! :popcorn: I thought Bob was being sarcastic. I thought Rove was only concerned about saving himself from indictments lately.

If you were the target of a witch-hunt, wouldn't you do the same?

Thanks, Cheering for the welcome!

I'm sorry. I was trying to be sarcastic. I have yet to master sarcasm in type. It's hard to convey a tone. I'll work on it :D
