Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi are all the offspring of Aliens who crashed in New Mexico in 1947?  It is really a delicious urban myth that is debunked on the web site snopes.com.

I was on the web site checking out a different untrue urban myth.  Some of my clients visit this web site quite frequently evaluating claims from viewer emails.

The myth about the politicians stems from a famous UFO incident near Roswell, New Mexico in July of 1947.  Many witnesses claimed that a UFO with five aliens crash landed on a sheep ranch just outside of town.  Many feel the Air Force covered up the incident.

Well, exactly nine months later in March of 1948, the Clintons, Gore, Dean, Pelosi along with John Kerry, Nancy Feinstein and Barbara Boxer were born.  Could it be a coincidence or...

As a reporter who worked for me in Phoenix used to say, "that story is too good to check out, let's just run with it!"  It certainly would explain a lot of things wouldn't it?

By the way, I too was born in March of 1948 - which compels my wife to say - "that certainly explains a lot of things doesn't it?"
