You know the pundits on the left have got to be positively orgasmic over this one.......
Following the revelation that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), Vice President Dick Cheney and President George W. Bush are distant relations, the New York Post decided to report on some of Bush’s other relatives.
Most of Bush’s ancestors came to America in colonial times, and through them he—like tens of thousands of other Americans—is related to a large number of earlier presidents, as well as to both Dick Cheney and John Kerry.
Bush also turns out to be related to Vlad the Impaler—the medieval tyrant who was one of the inspirations for the fictional Count Dracula. Some critics might say that Bush has certain things in common with Vlad, who is still honored by many Romanians for having saved their country from invasion by the Muslim Ottoman Turks. Vlad was a paranoid and bloodthirsty despot, however, who ruled through torture and murder.
Heh. Is that fun or what?
