Sandra Day O'Connor quotes Kerry's ancestor @ funeral?

[TexasSissy]

I didn't see it, but someone posted here @ DU that Sandra Day O'Connor quoted from "City on the Hill" by John Winthrop.

Do you think she knows that John Winthrop, Governor of Massachusetts and minister, was John Kerry's ANCESTOR!

How funny is that, folks?

Here are some of John Kerry's ancestors that I picked up from an ancestor website for John Kerry:

1. RR chose it

RR chose that quote back in the 80s and asked SDO to read it at his funeral. It's still kind of funny, though.

2. How ironic is that? A good omen, maybe?
