Oddballs: Are Joe and John C. Albaugh related?

By Constance Lavender

Are Joe Albaugh and John C. Albaugh related?

::::::::

Joe Albaugh, a big time DC lobbyist and the former Bush FEMA Director (prior to Michael "Heck of a Job" Brown), was part of George W. Bush's inner-circle, or the Iron Triangle: Karl Rove, Karen Hughes, Joe Albaugh.

Joe Albaugh was born. raised, and schooled in Oklahoma before moving to Texas where he served as then Governor George W. Bush's  (R-TX) Chief of Staff.

John C. Albaugh, who plead guilty today in United States District Court in Washington, D.C., was the former Chief of Staff for Rep. Ernest Istook (R-OK). Istook accepted tens of thousands of dollars from from Jack Abramoff in addition to tickets to Abramoff's skybox while serving as a member of the House Approriations Committee.

Joe Albaugh, the Oklahoma born lobbyist, has apparently made millions from post-Katrina redevelopment and from Iraq war profits. 

Any additional information on a relationship between Joe Albaugh, the lobbyist, and John C. Albaugh, the ex-aide to former Oklahoma Rep. Ernest Istook?
