Pitt, Jolie, related to Obama and Clinton?

By Alexandra Heilbron on March 26, 2008 | 15 Comments

The New England Historic Genealogical Society, the oldest and largest nonprofit genealogical organization in the States, claim Brad Pitt and his partner, Angelina Jolie, are related to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. They say Obama and Pitt are ninth cousins, while Clinton is a ninth cousin of Jolie. The report also says that Obama is a distant relative of President Bush and can be linked to five other Presidents — including Harry S. Truman and Gerald Ford. Meanwhile, Hillary is a distant cousin of Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette, thanks to French Canadian descent on her mother’s side. Sounds weird, but apparently it’s true…

   I heard a tale about tis. It’s called the Luninata and it proffeses everyones future is dtermined by the blood line.

   Blood lines run deep in politics and entertainment. that’s why you have nut bars like George W and Brittany. Mating with relatives. Back to the trailer park.

   Hey, I’m related to Joan of Arc and Marie Antoinette on someone’s side and the Queen of England on another side and I think there is a monkey in there too!

   Every time I look into the family tree I see a couple of more nuts falling out of it!

    Cousin, maybe. Just don’t marry them and have kids. We’ve all seen what happens then – can we say Britney?

    I think we can say Pamela is more likely!
