Bush and Kerry and their Common Infamous Ancestor

Common bond

And finally, this nugget on Bush and Kerry being blood brothers (also a Springsteen song title. Sorry, we just can't help ourselves). Bush and Kerry are ninth cousins twice removed, and according to Ancestry.com, they share a famous common ancestor: none other than Vlad III Dracul, the macabre Transylvanian warlord from the 15th century who is more commonly known as Dracula, later immortalized in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, "Dracula." They're also apparently related to the late Princess Diana.

Bush has closer ties to Dracula, going back 32 generations to the former ruler of Transylvania and what is now southern Romania. Kerry has to go back 34 generations in the family tree. As for the Diana connection, Kerry and Bush are both related to her and the House of Windsor. They are distant cousins of the famous princess: Kerry is a 12th cousin once removed; Bush is her 11th cousin twice removed.

Even though these two are related to Vlad III Dracul, we all know that the Vice President is the actual blood sucker.

Anyway, I just found this humourous. Feel free to comment.

THE BUS OF THE UNDEAD!!! VAMPIRES!!!

No seriously, we must defeat Dracula.

...I feel like crying, I do. That pisses me OFF. Why do those assholes get to be related to my idol, Vlad? Why? Damnit!

Dracula is dead, his grave is in Memphis.

No, that was Dracuula, notice the long u in the episode. Anyone who's read Timothy Zahn's Star Wars Thrawn Trilogy knows that an extra vowel means clone instead of original, Dracula's clone is buried.

And then we'd have to kill Kerry.

So be it, the Vampire Scourge must be stopped! I nominate Van Helsing for President and One of the Belmonts (don't really care which for his Veep) the Anti-Vampire Part

I would nominate Maddox to kill these vampire scum, but he admires Vlad.

What about Alucard?! Can we get Hellsing in on this one?

Isn't Alucard Dracula?

[Raz V5.0]

Yes he is, Aries is just a retard.

[Triyun]

Listen, Van Helsing gets the top of the ticket because he was the first great vampire slayer, and Anthony Hopkins totally kicked ass as him in the 92 remake of Dracula.

As for Alucard, he's not human, so that automatically disqualifies him, citizenship can be forged, reflections in mirrors that are necessary to inflate the ego that accompanies the presidency can not be!
