By bizarre coincidence, Scott McConnell is my cousin (from the East
Coast, rich, snobbish, racist, anti-semitic, and anti-immigrant
branch).
<blockquote>Bush vs. Kerry? They're distant cousins
Genealogy buffs claim political rivals are linked

HONOLULU - Democratic presidential candidates are constantly being
compared to the current commander in chief. Now, two genealogy buffs
say they have proof President Bush and the current Democratic
front-runner share similarities thicker than water.
Bruce and Kristine Harrison, Hawaii-based publishers of historical
databases, traced back the family histories of Bush and Democratic
Sen. John Kerry.
The result? They're cousins.
Well, 16th cousins, three times removed, to be exact. But cousins, nonetheless.
Truth be told, one might find such distant family ties between Bush
and any of the four other major Democratic candidates.
The link between the president and the Rev. Al Sharpton might date
back a bit further . . . .</blockquote>
