AP is reporting that researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society have discovered that not only is Barack Obama a distant cousin of Brad Pitt, but that Hillary Clinton is related to Angelina Jolie. The Society was obviously working into overtime, giving a whole bunch of fun tidbits (Clinton is also related to Alanis Morrissette and Madonna; Obama to George W.). And in a not as distant relation (Im assuming aforementioned ones are like 10,000+ removed), John McCain is Laura Bush's sixth cousin!
