Lynne Cheney: ‘Dick and Obama are eighth cousins.’


Huh???


Thinkprogress:


In an MSNBC interview today, host Norah O’Donnell asked Lynne Cheney her views on Sen. Hillary Clinton’s (D-NY) presidential campaign and whether “America is ready for a woman president.” Cheney replied that she actually has a “certain bias”:
One of the things I discovered was that Dick and Barack Obama are eighth cousins. Is that an amazing thing? If you go back eight generations, we have a common ancestor.

I still can't believe this one, but remember Lynne writes fiction.

This might mean she didn't want to answer the question about Hillary.
I know the base is surprised to hear they voted for a Black man name Dick Cheney.

As for me I've always said I related to Bill Clinton so now maybe some one will believe me. If I did have a brother I wish it were Bill even during his young years. He seems like the brother who get get me in all the parties during the 50's.

Dining with Dick and Lynn at Sylvia's and invite O'Reilly.
Does this mean Dick wants the minority vote now that word is out he's a Brother.
