If Living in LA Isn't Enough Hollywood For You....

...apparently Barack Obama is a distant cousin of Brad Pitt, and Hillary Clinton is a distant cousin of Angelina Jolie, Alanis Morrissette and Celine Dion. Obama is also apparently related to President Bush!

Now, who said the Dems are anything less than one big, happy family?

Wow! I would like to see if these candidates verify that this is true. This is our of control.

A few posts ago, someone was commenting about the "boredom of the press" and how they are not reporting anything "newsworthy" because there was a story trying to create controversy about Obama's weekend vacation. That person should take a look at this gem because this is Pulitzer-quality. Talk about good news! lol.

Ashley you are hilarious.

Seriously, is this what politics has come to? I have to say I am in shock that someone would care enough to trace the candidates lineage and even more shocked that someone would care to write an article about it like it is newsworthy. Personally, I really do not care if Obama is someone 12th cousin 5 times removed. If people do care, my advice to them is get a new hobby, do something with your time that is valuable.
