There's no sign of a family reunion planned, but U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama are distant cousins.
So says the vice president's wife, Lynne Cheney, who said she discovered that her husband of 43 years is eighth cousins with the senator from Illinois.

You know too much. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Talk radio and the blogs are about to get more interesting.....and the ABCCBSNBCCNN anchors will have a hard time keeping a straight face with this one, LOL
Post of the Day!!!
Back to the subject, weren't Bush and Kerry distant cousins also, or am I misremembering?
Eighth cousins isn’t too close. I’m probably eighth cousins with half the people on this thread :-)
As a practical matter, aren’t we all cousins of some degree?
I’ve heard it stated that the most distant relations on the planet are no further than 52nd cousins.
LOL. This will get a rise out of the moonbats...
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
You think it was Karl Rove’s doing? How can Oprah back someone related to the evil Cheney?
Geeze...You go back far enough and everyone is related. And it would be pretty unusual if you had to stretch all the way back to Noah to find the connection...
What exactly is an eighth cousin anyways?
A cousin of a cousin of a cousin of a cousin of cousin of a cousin of a cousin of a cousin?
Sounds like an awfully big net. If they held a reunion they'd probably have to rent a state, or something.
I’m on the side of those who’ve said that eighth cousin is a distant relation. Honestly, this isn’t big.
You sound like my friend.
I just noticed your tagline. Must’ve been written tongue-in-cheek. Terry Schiavo comes to my mind.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, Les and Pete, I want to thank you all for the warm welcome today. I see a lot of old friends in the room. And it's good to be back at the Council on Foreign Relations. As Pete mentioned, I have been a member for a long time, and was actually Director for some period of time. I never mentioned that when I was campaigning for reelection back home in Wyoming -- (laughter) -- but it stood me in good stead.
Hilarious!!
Thanks for the belly-laugh!
You’re thinking like I’m thinking.....started with Adam and Eve.....and went from there....we ARE all RELATED, just some more so than others!
