It’s All Relative

Barack Obama just got a little cooler and Hillary Clinton just got a tad hotter. Today, the Democratic presidential hopefuls received some of the best news of their lives, political and non, because winning primaries has got nothing on this: they’re related to Brangelina. After three years of family-tree climbing, the New England Historic Genealogical Society has discovered that Brad and Barack are ninth cousins, linked by Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769, while Hillary and Angelina are ninth cousins, twice removed, connected by Jean Cusson who died in Quebec in 1718.
The study also found Clinton to have relations (not sexual) with other famous women. Madonna, Celine Dion, and Alanis Morissette can all come knocking on Hillary’s door when they need to borrow some cash. As for Barack, he’s been outed as the 10th cousin, once removed, of President Bush. Will the dynasty live on?
