From Today's Washington Post
Elitists in Her Family Tree? You Betcha!
She's been on the scene for almost six weeks, and we've scrutinized her fascinating kids, her tenure as Wasilla mayor, her red peep-toe pumps, the whole Troopergate thing . . . Is there something we're forgetting?
Duh, yes, of course -- Sarah Palin 's family tree! In all the catching up the media have had to do with McCain 's veep pick, we've completely neglected to give her the genealogical once-over afforded the other major candidates this cycle. To review: Barack Obama and Dick Cheney are ninth cousins once removed; Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney are tenth cousins once removed; Fred Thompson 's dad was eighth cousin to Elvis; and Hillary Clinton is distant kin to Madonna and Angelina Jolie.
As for Palin? The folks at Ancestry.com pored over the records and say they found that Joe Six-Pack's champion is . . . tenth cousin to Princess Diana, via a common set of early 17th-century forebears. Also: She's ninth cousin once removed to that blue-blooded Democrat Franklin Delano Ro osevelt.
