3. I haven't heard. Is she related to FDR though the Delanos or throught the Roosevelts?
Because if it's the Roosevelts then she must also be related to - dare I say it - Teddy. He and Franklin were distant cousins (and he was Eleanor's uncle). If it is through the Roosevelts, it's no wonder McCain picked her - she's related to his hero. :puke:

4. I don't know. Shuster mentioned it earlier and will talk about it again in a couple min.
I wish he'd talk about her "dangerous" connections.

6. It dawned on me that if she's related to Princess Di she's also related to William and Harry
that ought to be giving the Queen headaches.

5. She's also distantly related to Barack Obama. I bet they aren't mentioning that.

Added on edit: there's nothing particularly remarkable or newsworthy in the fact that Sarah Palin counts people like FDR and Diana among her distant cousins; so do probably millions of other people. Such relationships are the rule rather than the exception among people who share descent from a common ancestor group in a geographically limited area (in this case, 17th century New England colonists of English origin).
