Holy high heels, chimp is 3" taller on foxnews.com
Check out the height of * on the Foxnews.com front page and compare it to the pic on thestar.com. Did Foxnews add a few inches to *'s height?
Weird.

Check out the small picture on the right side of the page at fauxnews.com. They didn't even put much time into that one. They just raised the whole podium up along with bush. LOL

9. Sorry to bust your bubble, but it's a mere camera angle effect.
Notice the Fox shot is an AP pic. They would not be able to alter it without permission from AP, and I doubt it on this short notice.

I'm sure the flattering angle for Bush was decisive in their choosing that particular shot, though.

13. we watched it on C-Span
C-Span had a split screen -- the angle had Kerry and bush*'s heads at the same "height" -- although you would notice that the edge of Kerry's podium was lower than bush*'s

While bush* was speaking - Kerry was jotting down alot of notes

When Kerry spoke - bush* fiddled with the pen, taking off the cap and putting it back on - very little (if any) note taking, grimaces and winches

bush* also tried hard to supress his smirks

overall - Kerry had bush* on the defensive. bush* had to reach back into his stump speeches and just do a broken record about Kerry changing positions... got tired real fast

Everytime bush* mentioned "changing positions" - Kerry responded by restating his position and emphasizing that he has been consistent

Then bush* starts in on how 'hard' everything is, being president is hard, it's a hard job, hard to fight terra-ists, hard to lead yadda yadda yadda

I said to my partner "Sounds like a replay of the 2000 debates, except in 2000 everything was large. 'I wuz gover-ner of a large state, texas is a large state, united states is a large country -- etc. etc etc..."

my partner replied - "Hard? Large? put it together and it sounds like he's talking about his penis."

me: "Penis!? PENIS!? OH My GOD - impeach him!"
