It's an honour to be related to Madge, Jolie: Hillary Clinton

Washington, April 21 : U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is more than pleased with reports that she's a distant cousin of both Madonna and Angelina Jolie.

Clinton has admitted that she is delighted by a new family tree study that associates her to the two superstars and humanitarians.

"I have no idea whether there is any truth to it (study) or not, but they're both strong independent women," Contactmusic quoted Clinton, as saying.

"They've also been very quick to give back to charities and humanitarian causes, so it would be an honour to be related to them," she added.

In the same family tree study, Clinton's Democratic opponent for the presidency, Barack Obama, was associated to Jolie's partner Brad Pitt.
