Kerry is related to King Harald
http://pub.tv2.no/nettavisen/english/article216009.ece

The Democrat’s president candidate John Kerry is related to King Harald of Norway, and according to one expert, royal relation ensures that he will win the election this fall.

Not only did Kerry live a couple of years in Oslo during his youth, he is also related with the Norwegian King, according to Harold Brooks-Baker, director of Burke’s Peerage, the «bible» of the European royal families.

«He is not only related to the Queen of England on his mother’s side, but also to the Queen of the Netherlands, the Queen of Denmark and the King of Norway, and other European royal families,» stated Brooks-Baker. «Even Princess Diana was a distant relative.»

5. Uff Da
destined to be "king".
Kerry's royal bloodline is traceable and proven. Unlike the Bush family. Can't be royalty just because you hang with the royal Bin Ladens.

Much like being an ACTUAL decorated war veteran, compared to just wearing a USAF flight jacket.

That Bushifer is related to the Queen of England as well.

3. related to Norwegian royal family
Kerry should visit Story City (IA) Scandinavian Days - early June

Story City was settled by Norwegian immigrants

Also he should visit the Norwegian settlers museum in Decorah IA - I think the King of Norway has visited ther

11. Oh no. Look at this about Bush's ancestor, Edward I.
From my trusty old Britannica:

In 1268 Edward took the cross, hoping to join the new crusade of St. Louis. Want of money delayed his departure till 1270, by which time St. Louis was dead and a truce concluded with the infidel.

Refusing to be a party to such treason to Christendom, Edward went with his personal followers to Acre, where he abode from May 1271 to Aug. 1272. Despite his energy and valor he could do little to prop up the decaying crusading kingdom and he narrowly escaped assassination.


What kind of bedtime stories did Barbara tell this kid?

12. The networks will hilight this story along with Norways pullout from Iraq
That will make it look, to the flatlanders, like Kerry's behind to the pullout.

14. Yes, I believe I have read that here too.
Shortly before BeelzeBush was about to take off for his state visit to London, there was a post that mentioned that Bush was related to the Queen.

So now Kerry is related to the Queen? That means Bush and Kerry are relatives? Interesting...

16. I don't think this helps. He needs to be seen more as one of the people
not royalty.

18. Well the pubbies will certainly find a way to use it against him
Regardless. Exhibit A: Question the circumstances surrounding Kerry's war medals 30 years after the fact. The royal connection is a curiosity, nothing more, but the Pubs will try to make it into something, you can be sure of that.

Stories like this are no help to the nominee, and not worthy of LBN.

21. ha!
"Refusing to be a party to such treason to Christendom, Edward went with his personal followers to Acre, where he abode from May 1271 to Aug. 1272."

Seven thousand years later exactly, George W. Bush went AWOL.

25. More fodder for the xenophobes.
There's a lot of people in America who aren't going to trust someone with relatives in so many foreign governments.
