6. Don't mean to be a drag

But how people are put together physically should be off limits, maybe.

Race, gender, sexual orientation, height etc.

Bad plastic surgery seems like it might be okay for comment because it's self inflicted. Same with tanning booth victims/ beta carotene addicts like Boehner. But Sarkozy didn't choose to be short and he's arguably carried it off as well as Humphrey Bogart who was also elevation challenged.

The criticism I've read about him is that he doesn't stand for anything and in France giving the people what they want isn't good enough. But it won't stop me from voting for Obama.

7. There are a lot of good reasons to bash Sarkozy. His size is not one.

I have two sons who are short. They are wonderful human beings.

8. Short people and fat people

The two groups that people still think it is OK to mock.
