Palin is a Muslim too?

It all makes sense now.

if she's president, I wonder if she'll take su ious trips to Spain.

Havoc posted an interesting article awhile back talking about how everybody is related to everybody, not going too many generations back. Still, how gross a thing for Obama to have to know about.

Poor Palin. Noone wants to be seen with that assclown let alone be related to him!

Palin is a Muslim too?

It all makes sense now.

A white dude is related to a white chick? Go figure.

[Yonivore]

Meh, you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but, you can't pick your family.

[jack sommerset]

That will kill any chance of her getting elected.

[ElNono]

I thought they couldn't find Obama's birth certificate?

I want to see her birth certificate.

It's like a 10th cousin once removed.

At that level it is highly likely you and I are related.

[CubanMustGo]

No, it's Rush L. who is 10th and once removed from the President. Obama and Palin are pure 10th cousins.

Your point is valid to a great extent - and certainly, at this level, the relationship is only a curiosity. Someone who does not have English or early US ancestors in their family tree would not have a relationship to either O or P.
