I send the following because I did not know Al Gore
was related to the Edwards. Thought some of you
might find this interesting! I am not making any political statements.

The following is an excerpt from an ABC News item:
"Al's Family Hardly Peasants"
Gore's family members weren't exactly peasants. The vice president's
family tree includes Charlemagne and three Holy Roman emperors.
And a good fight wouldn't frighten the vice president's most famous
ancestor, England's Edward I.
Best known today as the king who defeated, then executed Braveheart.
Edward was also said to be very popular with the ladies. His
descendent, Al Gore certainly won the hearts of many American ladies
with "that kiss" he publicly planted on wife Tipper.
Although Gore is running a bit behind Bush in the European royal
count, his blood-line run's close to some American home-grown
nobility, including Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Boone, and "Buffalo
Bill" Cody."
Since the Salmans are related to Edward I ( isn't everybody?), are
all you guy's going to vote for your cousin Al?
