Sarah Palin is distantly related to George Bush

So, granted it is quite the stretch, but for all you super conspiracy theorists out there, i thought that you might be interested in the fact that if sarah palin's family history is truly what she says it is, then she is indeed distantly related to george w. bush. heres an excerpt from the guardian article

Palin was born in February 1964 in another small town, Sandpoint, Idaho, the third of four children of Chuck and Sally Heath. Genealogists have traced her father's family tree as a far as John Lothropp, a nonconformist minister from Beverley in Yorkshire, who settled in Massachusetts in 1634 to escape persecution. If so, this would make Palin a distant relation of George Bush.

seems interesting.
