Kerry just said...tall people have a problem

[Auntie Bush]

as he went through great effort to raise up the mike. But ha, he raised it so high he had to put it back down again.
Does anyone think he was trying to make a point/dig that others were short?

1. We have a problem in coach - that is absolutely true

It's not a dig on short people.

[AntiCoup2K4]

2. He was probably trying to slam Dean as usual, but being 6'6" myself....

...I would agree that us tall people do have it rough sometimes. Hitting heads on ceilings (and even worse, ceiling FANS), flying on airplanes, driving fuel efficient cars, etc.

At least we can usually see what's going on in a crowd.

8. I wish I had those problems

At 5-3 I wish I could bang my head on ceilings and doorways. Good for you though.

3. A bit paranoid

Sounds like he was just saying he needs to make adjustments because he is tall.

[AlinPA]

4. No, he hits his head a lot on busses and planes.

He wasn't trying to imply anything about anybody.

5. Lieberman was the one

I still can't believe he never acknowledged Wes when he talked about Clinton in the Balkans. I don't care if Joe gets struck by lightning and wins the nom, I will never vote for that little horror.

[question everything]

6. Bill Maher was talking about Kerry throwing apples at Dorothy..

Reminds him of the tree in the Wizard..

[liberalhistorian]

7. I don't think he meant anything at all,

that's just the kind of comment people make in those situations. Not everything a candidate says is a dig or means anything against a particular group, or even means anything at all.

9. well i guess he`s
