• 3. The burning of the mansion is a huge loss; not only for Texas, but the entire nation. This was the 4th oldest governor's mansion in the country. We are fortunate that the Governor and his family, as well as the historical artifacts were elsewhere at the time. TMZ, why are you making cracks at Bush? This was his loss, too. His girls were raised in the mansion. How would you feel if someone burned your house or state capitol down? This was a sick act performed by a pathetic individual. Instead of trying to be humerous about this situation, try thinking of what has happend. This isn't Brittney crashing yet another car, it's 153 years of history going up in smoke at the hands of an arsonist.

• 5. Vanessa, get a grip! I live in Austin too and I'm not freaking out like you. Maybe this is some backlash by some well-meaning, but misguided Hillary supporter after she conceded to Obama yesterday? Who knows.

• 6. Renovations were underway, all of the art work and furniture were out of the house.

• 8. Ha I wish he was in the house during it caught on fire. I lost all respect for him during his long days in office. But I do like the house reminds me of the white house.

• 9. I find this story so sad - what a huge historical loss! I've seen the mansion while on vacation and it was beautiful and filled with history. I hope it can be restored to it's former beauty.

• 10. Of course, we don't get any REAL info about this from TMZ, like speculation about the cause - the scaffolding looks like there was a renovation being done, so that could be a reason for it. Only a lame crack at Bush that has NOTHING to do with this story, as usual.
