You know him as the chain-smoking priest Father Guido Sarducci from "Saturday Night Live". (His real name is Don Novello. He was once arrested for impersonating a priest in Vatican City -- he wrote an amusing piece about it for "California Lawyer".)

The question is, what public office did his sister-in-law hold?



Surgeon General of the United States. (Source:IMdB.com .) Antonia Novello, the first woman (and first Latino) to hold the title, was appointed to the post of Surgeon General by George Bush (Senior).

What makes this even funnier for me is that she was appointed by a Republican. I mean I just sort of assume if a public official has bizarre relatives, they must be Democrats...

My tongue was firmly in-cheek there...


Actually, I don't think of Noel Bush as being bizarre, simply corrupt. You have a point about Ron Reagan, though. (Last I heard of him, he was announcing dog shows on Animal Planet.) And, they just can't compete with Billy Carter... : >
