Ancestry.com Says Kerry and Bush Are Distant Cousins

[jackieforthedems]

I just received a pop-up from them saying that. Anybody know about this?

1. Back that far...very common

Just about anyone with British ancestry is related. That link makes me related to both. Not that surprising if you are into genealogy.

2. I've seen a graphic of it; like cousins 8 or 9 times removed.

Don't know the authenticity of the info, but still creepy.

[Selwynn]

5. LOL - so basically, no...not really :P

[Love Bug]

7. Well, we all know who got the GOOD genes

[One_Life_To_Give]

8. Twins

Like Arnold and Danny DeVito.
Only the embryo didn't seperate equally.

[JitterbugPerfume]

9. we are all related

if you go back far enough I have heard that no one on earth is furthr removed than 50th cousin


Hi cousin!!

10. Cain & Abel

Lol! Hey, cuz!

[dave29]

12. We're all made of the same stuff

but we do tend to behave like we don't

[ilovenicepeople]

11. and Hugh Hefner as well

supposedly Kerry has a bit more blue(royal)blood in him than bUSH does.:shrug:

[mooky]

13. Both Yalies, both New Englanders

There is definitely a difference between the two, but is Kerry really the savior? I like the "Dated Dean, married Kerry" statement. Dean would have been a better candidate.

But not as good as Bradley.
