Genealogists have figured out that Barack Obama is related to Brad Pitt, while his presidential rival Hillary Clinton is related to Pitt’s girlfriend Angelina Jolie. Obama is also related to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, Clinton is related to Celine Dion and Madonna, John McCain is related to first lady Laura Bush, and so on and so forth in a similar manner of pointless, un-newsworthy distant ancestry.

Really though, it’s all fun and games until someone finds out they’re from the Carrot Top gene pool.
