Behar to Barack: 'Are You Related to Brad Pitt?'
http://vimblr.com/2008/03/28/behar-to-barack-are-you-related...Behar to Barack: 'Are You Related to Brad Pitt?' Joy Behar got right to the heart of the matter that could ultimately decide the election. “I understand,” Behar said to presidential candidate Barack Obama, “that you’re related to Brad Pitt, in some way.” What The View host – who, along with her colleagues, welcomed the Democratic Illinois U.S. senator to the ABC daytime show Friday – was referring to was a claim by the New England Historic Genealogical Society that Pitt and Obama are distant cousins, linked by one Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769. “Are you related to Brad Pitt?” pressed Behar, according to clips provided by ABC. “I guess we’re ninth cousins, something, removed – or something,” said Obama, 46, adding modestly, “I think he got the better-looking side of the gene pool.” The comment prompted the show’s matriarch, Barbara Walters, to tell the senator: “We were saying just before you came out – maybe we shouldn’t say this. But we thought you were very sexy looking.” Behar also asks if Obama is tough enough to withstand the rigorous attacks that can come in a presidential campaign. Says Behar, “When John Kerry was running for office, I said to him, in a similar situation, … ‘John, are you going to be able to withstand the attack machine on the Republican side?’ … And he said yes. And then he was Swift-boated. And, as you can see, he’s not our president.” “I noticed,” replies Obama. “I ask you the same question,” says Behar. “How tough are ya?” “You know, I’m a pretty tough – I’m skinny but I’m tough.” After the audience laughter subsides, he says, “I think that the way to handle attacks, wherever they’re coming from – and, you know, there’ve been some tough punches thrown in this Democratic primary … – the way I like to handle attacks is to answer honestly, swiftly, forcefully and truthfully. I think the truth is a powerful weapon.” people.com Tags: hasselbeck, obama Posted on March 28th, 2008 by Shana

Barack Obama y Brad Pitt son primos
http://blogcorazon.com/2008/03/28/barack-obama-y-brad-pitt-s...El parecido no esta por ningún lado pero aún así comparten familia uno de los candidatos a la presidencia de EE UU y Brad Pitt. En el programa The View interrogaron a Obama sobre su parentesco con Brad y Obama reveló que son primos muy lejanos, y que a Brad le tocó la parte más guapa de los genes. ¿Será que estas declaraciones puedan ganarle al senador más adeptos en su carrera para la presidencia? Según Barbara Walters, Obama es muy sexy. Tal vez en un giro torcido de la historia, Brad Pitt puede aprovechar su fama para apoyar al demócrata Barack, considerando que ya es amigo de Bill Clinton. Y eso sí que ayudaría. Enlace: Behar to Barack: ‘Are You Related to Brad Pitt?’ | Imagen: A Socialite’s Life Comparte esta anotación

But we thought you were very sexy looking.” It sounds like it was news to him as well, but it is an actual genealogical research group that discovered the link, so it seems that it’s not just goofy talk but actually true. I’m sure neither of the two presidential connections will make any difference in how the Jolie-Pitt family decides to vote, but it’s just interesting. I love knowing how people are connected (I’m still annoyed that Six Degrees was taken off the air), so I just find it a neat bit of trivia. Technorati Tags: brad pitt, barack obama Share This
