Thousands of people are married to their 7th or 8th cousins without knowing it. FDR's wife Eleanor was his 4th cousin.

Up until 50 years ago Americans were married off to their distant cousins by their families.

Is THAT what right-wing repubnut 'born again' types are ???
One, or millions would go so far as to make excuses for this pathetic man and his pathetic life and lifestyle, which WAS ridiculed until he became 'quasi-famous' just happening to be the mayor of New York on 9-11.
I'll not negatively comment on his actions during that time. ANY mayor of that city would have had to do the same.
ONE time, a sorry excuse for a man acts in a manner required of him due to his 'JOB' and all of a sudden he's a hero - you gotta be kidding !!
Because of ONE thing(to repeat myself) he's now(although erroneously) considered to be a viable candidate for president.
He couldn't get his own 'affairs' in order before 9-11 and really hasn't changed since. He just did his job - that's it in a 'nutshell'.
DO YOU REALLY WANT SUCH A 'WILLY-NILLY' PERSON SUCH AS GUILIANI AND ALL HIS 'DEMONS' AS PRESIDENT ??
Again, You gotta be kidding !!

Have you ever seen the movie "Deliverance"?
Inbreeding is not without consequence. The harmful effects (homozygous for a harmful gene) are pretty unlikely for those further related than first cousins though so I guess Rudy's safe...

It was not his third cousin twice removed, unless that's a different way of saying 2nd cousin.

Making fun of Rudy is a wonderful pass time. There is sooo much of it available. The fact he is considered a serious candidate mystifies me.

He knew about it. there is a big difference between knowing about it and not knowing about it. It's called incest. Fifty years ago we had lynchings too. Doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. Also, it was his second cousin
Danielle...he did know about it...he did not get divorced, he got the marriage annulled, trying to cover it up.

We don't need another president to laugh at. This one is enough.
