Scion of traitors and warlords: Bush's Irish links

The Guardian reports on a newly discovered aspect of Dubya's geneology:

The US president's now apparent ancestor, Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke - known as Strongbow for his arrow skills - is remembered as a desperate, land-grabbing warlord whose calamitous foreign adventure led to the suffering of generations.

Reminds me of the old joke about the difference between a catfish and a personal injury lawyer -- one is a scum-sucking bottom feeder and the other is a fish.
