About that Native-American connection…

Elizabeth Warren may, indeed, have one, but it’s quite possibly a little different than she had thought.

In what may be the ultimate and cruelest irony, not only is it unlikely that Elizabeth Warren’s great-great-great grandmother was Cherokee, it turns out that Warren’s great-great-great grandfather was a member of a militia unit which participated in the round-up of the Cherokees in the prelude to the Trail of Tears.

Allahpundit quips: “All that’s left now is the inevitable revelation that Scott Brown is part Cherokee and that his ancestors were rounded [up] by Warren’s and this narrative will be wrapped up in a pretty little bow.”

Man, the irony’s so sweet you could pour it over pancakes.
