The Senate Majority Leader famous for his vanity is at it again. In preparation for his fantasy stay on Pennsylvania Avenue, the pretentious and aristocratic Bill Frist has constructed his very own White House in a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee.
The neighbors are talking.
What has neighbors talking is the fact that the family home of Senator Frist, who is often talked about as a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, has taken on a resemblance to the dwelling at another high-profile address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington.
The similarity is so striking that George S. Buchanan, 63, a Republican-leaning neighbor whose home is separated from Mr. Frist’s 4.3-acre property by a street, said, “I live right next door to the White House.”
...[T]here is enough of a similarity that the transformation has become grist for chuckles among locals and out-of-towners alike. Nashvillians are known to drive visitors slowly past the house and point out the resemblance.
“When I have friends come into town, I say, ‘Oh, well now, I’ll take you by the Nashville White House,’ ” said Jean B. Butler, 78, a retired federal employee and a staunch Democrat who has lived in the neighborhood for about 60 years.
