I thought she was at least 5'7", if not taller. An inch taller than Lady Gaga, who also carries herself "bigger" than she is.

And which vice-president had the pointiest ears. There's got to be a record of this somewhere.

.....every male character he introduced. It was funny because it was so random, a big loudmouth could have a teeny dick and the shy kid could be packing a big weenie. It would be funny if all the male candidates for office had to publish these stats along with their taxes. Voters judge the candidates on such capricious standards anyway, this might make them consider their choices more objectively.

But she’s one of those presences that fills a room. You always know she’s there.

People on tv are always much smaller than you think they are. Actors are commonly quite short for this reason.
