Lynn Cheney, speaking on MSNBC today, revealed a long hidden fact: her husband Dick and Barack Obama are distant cousins: one eighth to be exact! Mrs. Cheney says they have tried to keep this from the press but an anonymous source in the White House leaked the story.
For her part, she said that they had not had relations with Kevin Bacon even though Dick looks more like he then Barack Obama.
Obama replied that only Mrs. Cheney would find this remarkable. "Doesn't she know that we are all only six (6) steps away from Kevin Bacon? Do the math girl. That means at most we would be one 12th cousins! One eighth is nothing."
Republican operatives immediately denied that Cheney and Obama had relations. Kevin Bacon also denied all knowledge of having a relationship with Cheney. "That would be creepy weird," said Bacon. He did admit to a relationship with Obama though.
Recently Obama has had to fight off persistent rumors that he is Hussein. "I am not. And even if I was, I would be proud of it." Now comes news of a relationship with Cheney. It is unclear the direction his staff will take or if a response from the campaign will be forth coming.
