I'm two degrees to all the major American Republican politicians and most major Democratic politicians for the past half century and all the major RC hierarchy for the last quarter century. I guess that puts me within 3 degrees of a couple billion people or so.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

2 degrees to Pope JP II and Benedict increases my range globally rather substantially.

Psssh, shaking hands with someone once doesn't count.
I went to a Bill Clinton book signing, and he shook my hand and commented on my t-shirt, but I wouldn't count that as a connection. I met Ken Starr today, and since it wasn't a public event (it was at the Fox News studio) it'd be a little more relivant, but I still wouldn't honestly count it.
I met the Chairman of the Federal Parole Board once on the Metro. We talked for like 20 minutes. He gave me his business card and such. I can count him. He serves with the Attorney General and no doubt knows lots of people in the administration. So I know lots of higher ups that way.
Plus I know, on a first name basis, this one guy who works for the House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi, so through him, and her, I can get all the top political bigwigs on both sides of the aisle.
Plus I know lots of non-profit people of course, and a lot of them have political connections. So I'm pretty sure I've got everyone in Washington covered.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

I would be suprised if only a few people here were 2 degrees from at least PJPII. I know I am.Originally posted by DanS

Does it count if I got to sit down and talk or do I have to know him the the Biblical sense before I can count it as a connection.Originally posted by OzzyKP

I was good friends with a future Jeopardy! College Champion as a child; so I'm 2 degrees from Alex Trebek, and thus 3 degrees from everyone who has even been on Celebrity Jeopardy! and Politicians Jeopardy!"My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine
