On Trans-Mongolian Airlines (Ulan Baator to Anywhere!) they say,

"Kumis...the pause that refreshes!"

(this last sketch was... too silly!!)

[sheik yerbouty]

No, but maybe Mason is related to Ghenghis Cohen..

[Rockitz]

Though a Republican, his politics are moderate.

The insinuation is that Genghis Khan would have aligned himself with the Republican Party had it been in existence in his day. More MSM crap!

[Cicero]

Any man who is interested in finding out whether he is descended from Genghis Khan can be tested by Oxford Ancestors for £195.

What, no takers?

[PandaRosaMishima]

Okay, who wants to be the first to compare the Genghis bloodline to the descendants of Christ as outlined in the DaVinci Code? C'mon, there has got to be more than just one, folks!

[opinionator]

I’ve been reading a lot about him since I found out about the link, and it does seem that his reputation is a little unfair.

“He conquered a lot of countries, but he had a pretty good system of government.”

I'm sure they will say the same thing about Hitler, 700 years from now.

[Montfort]

"Genghis Khan lived from about 1162 to 1227 and fathered hundreds or even thousands of children as his armies swept across the continent. This makes him by far the most probable source of the common chromosome."

Yeah. Like he was the only one fathering kids with the conquered local women. The 200k horsemen who rode with were all eunuchs, I guess.

"Any man who is interested in finding out whether he is descended from Genghis Khan can be tested by Oxford Ancestors for £195."

Uh-huh.....and for about half again as much, they can f**king guarantee a match.

Suckers.

JenJhis must have also been handy at lopping of lawyer's heads.

Reminiscent of John Kerry.

Very interesting story, I Myself would much rather trace my ancestry back too Alexander the Great. Now that Man laid the foundation for the Roman Empire.

[Vince Ferrer]

That's no big thing, so was Arthur Dent.

[Ainast]

Ghengis Khan Killed 99% of my family. I want my reperations. preferably in the form of cash but a check will do.
25$ charge on all returned checks.

D***ed leftist media. Linking staunch Republicans to a brutal dictator.

[xp38]

I have visions of a swordfight on some high catwalk and Ghengis saying "No I am your ancestor!" after he has cut off Tom's hand.

[eddie willers]

Genghis Khan may have been the most successful male ever at spreading his genes.

It would have been John Holmes if not for money shot.

Wow...Jackie was in my Aunt's restaurant a few years ago.

On the contrary, I think they were trying to qualify him by saying although a Republican he isn't particularly conservative (he's a Republican but not one of Those people, you know, wink wink). Because typically, this is the type of thing liberals love, to claim some name drop-able ancestry.

We will have to disagree here. Leftists see conservatives as being similar to dictators such as Hitler and Kahn..

My namesake.

Your namesake?!? ;-)
