We’re all related.
This could make for one odd family reunion: Barack Obama is a distant cousin of Brad Pitt, and Hillary Rodham Clinton is related to Pitt’s girlfriend, Angelina Jolie.
Researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society found some remarkable family connections for the three presidential candidates — Democratic rivals Obama and Clinton, and Republican John McCain.
Clinton, who is of French-Canadian descent on her mother’s side, is also a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette. Obama, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, can call six U.S. presidents, including George W. Bush, his cousins. McCain is a sixth cousin of first lady Laura Bush.
But, as Hillary will no doubt soon point out, only one of them looks like a negro.
Oh, do you think that’s an unfair cheap shot? Is it any cheaper than Clinton telling Obama where he can worship his God? Is it cheaper than quoting NewsMax and the American Spectator and WorldNetDaily?
And isn’t Paul Begala an employee of CNN that is not connected to the Clinton campaign in any way? Never forget…Begala thinks we are all just a**holes from Vermont whose opinion he doesn’t care to know.
“Look,” [Begala] said, “When we started there were only about 15 competitive races, but Rahm made the field over 35 by the end and that had nothing to do with the 50-state strategy.” I told him we never would have had so many competitive districts if not for the DNC investing staffers and resources into those states early on and expanding the playing field. “So you have people out there, what are they doing there though?” he questioned. “I told him they were building a long term infrastructure for the Democratic Party, and we had people all over America knocking on doors and spreading the Democratic message. “So what do they say when they knock on the doors then?” he asked me. I told him they had a succinct 6 point plan for a “new direction” that they were discussing, a cohesive message that we haven’t had in the past. “Anyway,” Begala continued… “I don’t need some a**hole from Vermont telling me what to do.”
I don’t think Barack Obama needs some a**holes from Arkansas New York telling him where to go to church. That’s what I think. I want to know when the party leaders are going to tell the Clintons that they’re out of bounds. I’m disgusted and everyone I know is disgusted. I’ve never seen anything so loathsome from a Democrat.
We’re all related, but the Clintons want you to remember…that Barack guy? He black.
