57. Did she? Did anyone do a DNA test to prove her wrong?

Believing something about your ancestry that you grew up hearing from your closest family members all your life and therefore including it in your employment records is really nothing like making shit up to prove you have enough first hand foreign policy experience to be President. Although, thanks to Obama, she has foreign policy experience now.

(Scott Brown, is that you?)
