Surely you’ve heard by now that Barack Obama and Dick Cheny are distant cousins –the same great great grandfather or something like that. It’s true! Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton offered a tongue-in-cheek response to the revelation, saying, "Every family has a black sheep."
Well, here is another, CLOSER connection: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and I also are related, somewhat, by association! Unbelievable, but true! Here’s how:
My sister Doris and I have the same parents, Lulu and Everson Clark. Doris and George Smith had a son George Wilson Smith III in 1952. George has had a marvelous and rewarding career and is now the Senior Representative for Fundraising for the East Asia Special Olympics. In fact, George spearheaded the development of the Special Olympics in China. George works directly for Eunice Shiver. Eunice and Sargent Shriver are the parents of Maria Shriver. Maria is married to Arnold Schwarzenegger. I stood right outside the gov’s office (pictured here with Donna and Kyleigh) while he and Maria were behind THAT door meeting and partying with some group of dignitaries. More succinctly stated: MY governor sleeps with the DAUGHTER of my NEPHEW’s boss. Amazing!
‘small world, isn’t it?

I think somehow then there is a connection to TED Kennedy! Maybe we can all go hang out at a Democratic fundraiser??? I'll take the pictures!
Ted Kennedy...now there's a REAL black sheep of the family!
Did I ever tell you about Lee's great-great uncle? He was one of Adolf Hitler's right hand men.
Talk about black sheep.
Some things are better kept in the closet!
