Report: 'Bush the Decider' related to 'Vlad the Impaler'




Just in time for Halloween comes this story (http://rawstory.com/news/2007/CBS_Bush_distant_relation_of_Vlad_1029.html) which indicates that Chimperator Bush is a descendant of 15th Century Prince Vlad the Impaler, whose bloody ways are the underlying basis for the Dracula myth. Well, both Chimpy and Vlad enjoy torturing others and hold a view that they are above accountability. I guess the Chimperator comes by it genetically. Here are some highlights:

Bush also turns out to be related to Vlad the Impaler -- the medieval tyrant who was one of the inspirations for the fictional Count Dracula. Some critics might say that Bush has certain things in common with Vlad, who is still honored by many Romanians for having saved their country from invasion by the Muslim Ottoman Turks. Vlad was a paranoid and bloodthirsty despot, however, who ruled through torture and murder.

According to Crime Library, "During his tenure, he killed by the droves, impaling on a forest of spikes around his castle thousands of subjects who he saw as either traitors, would-be traitors or enemies to the security of Romania and the Roman Catholic Church. Sometimes, he slew merely to show other possible insurgents and criminals just what their fate would be if they became troublesome.
Unfortunately, the article doesn't indicate whether Cheney is also related to Vlad - they certain seem cut out of a similar mold and equally crazy.
