Jeb ("Sneaky Snake" Bush is thinking: "Boy, what no body knows is that I'm on tiptoes. . . . In high school I figured out how that makes me look taller than everybody else in the picture. . . . It's real slick, and nobody seems to have figured it out. . . . Wow, people will think I' m six or almost seven feet tall! . . . Now they'll have to vote for me! . . . No sir, my daddy sure didn't raise any stupid sons!"

(10,621 posts)Even sadder, is the fact that he is probably correct. We live in a very heightist society. (And, unfortunately, I got a little shortchanged in that department).

(15,374 posts)I remember in 2004, in the pictures of W and Kerry, they made W taller than what he really was. They were smart enough not to make him taller than Kerry, but you could tell they did all they could to make it so W. appeared just a little shorter than Kerry.

"I'll take Huckelberry"
"I'll pick Mophead"
"Doc for mine"
"Big Nose Ted for me"
"Fiona - no, Pauly"
"Too late you picked Fiona"
and so on.

(39,961 posts)that Jeb Bush couldn't run a more ridiculous campaign or look any sillier than he does now.
We all knew W was an idiot, but I'm beginning to think he was the cream of the crop out of the siblings.
Neil was knee deep in the S&L crisis. His signature accomplishment so far is avoiding being put in jail.
Marvin barely made it out of high school, let alone college.
Dorothy's signature achievement is being married to a Vodka and wine magnate while tirelessly toiling to fund raise to prevent ulcerative colitis (which her brothers managed to cause in more than a few people).
What a lackluster crew of idiots H. W. begot.

(63,889 posts)his fake Texas accent. I'm a 3rd generation native Texan and I can hear a phony twang vs. the real deal. Mine was a genuine North Texas accent, which is what you hear in Bill Moyers speech. It's quite delightful on Bill...
