DALLAS — A suspect accused of driving a muscle car erratically onto the lawn at former President George W. Bush's north Dallas home Wednesday night was detained by the Secret Service.

The former president and former first lady Laura Bush were in the Preston Hollow neighborhood home at the time but were unharmed and never in danger, officials told NBC station KXAS.

The male suspect had not made any threats, KXAS said, and officials do not believe he intended to harm the former first couple.

Officials told KXAS that the suspect went to a friend's house in Bush's gated neighborhood to show off his Plymouth Barracuda.

8. Didn't Bush also run his car up on a lawn????

I'm having daja vu just reading this!

correctly.

9. Todd's cool, but he sucks at cutting hair.

12. Bush got drunk and demanded a dozen doughnuts delivered to his front lawn.

Too bad he fucked up and called the kid down the street instead of Krispy Kreme.

13. What happened to the ranch in Crawford?

Could it all have been a ruse by his handlers to make him appear more "authentic" or "down-home" than he would living in a Mc Mansion in a rich-ass suburb of Dallas?

23. If it was McCain's lawn...
