1. I think Bush
claimed to be 5' 11".
But that could be a lie, too

9. Looking at photo number 2, at the shoulders.....
I'd guess that Bush is probably 5"10', at the most.

15. I've met plenty of guys claiming to be my size
I am 6' or 1.83m and I have met many kids claiming to be either that size or even taller who were obviously smaller than me.

I never said anything against it, I guess men love to lie about their sizes... yes... even down there, although I can't back that one up, I know they do.

20. same here, a lot of guys lie about their height. It can be a sensitive subject
Edited on Tue Nov-11-08 12:28 AM by TheDonkey
I am 6 foot and a lot of guys who claim they break the 5'11" barrier are shorter than I am.

43. Female and 5' 10-1/2" tall....and, oh, yeah!
I just always loved it when some guy is looking me straight in the eye and he is telling me he is 6' tall!

Sheesh!

Ya know what I always found odd? Guys who were 6' without stretching or fibbing could not care less about me being taller in high heels ~~ same for guys clearly under 5'10". But so often, those within 2" of being 6' tall had a problem with me being so tall ... and it was always the ones who lied about being 6' when they were not! Not always the case...but it sure happened a lot.

BTW: My current male friend is only one inch taller than me and fully admits he is not 6" tall and has never had a problem with me being a ton taller in heels. One of the reasons I love him so!

:hi:

Lovely Michelle 'eased' her way out of the vehicle that brought them, with her hubby's help. But she was long and lovely! :D

22. we saw the Obama motorcade while we were in DC for the day
and the bus-driver saw him going into the White House.


Pretty exciting to see them in that setting!

23. for guys 6ft and under, always subtract at least one inch from stated height
The only heights you can be sure weren't fudged are those 6'1" and taller. Many guys claiming to be 6ft are really 5'11.

24. Maybe he shrunk
Seriously, We do lose height as we age. I've been 6'2" since I was like 16. But the last time I had a physical I measured 6'1-1/4", I'd lost 3/4 of an inch. My dad was 6' for most of his adult life but when he died he was measured at 5'10".

27. Yes. It's interesting
buying jeans for guys. Why only for guys behooves me, but it does.

Guys who wear jeans to work, they're picky and it's important. My DH went from a length 34 to trying to find a 33, back to 34 with a different brand. It's tres' important!

31. He's shrinking from all the toxic waste he wallows in
He used to also not wear that cheap as smirk all over his face, back when he was govnu and such.

34. I don't care how tall Bush is.... I am reminded of that line from "Full Metal Jacket"
"I didn't know that stacked shit that high"

Bush, just leave. Please? Please leave now?

36. I stood a few feet from Bush once.
Edited on Tue Nov-11-08 12:54 AM by Starbucks Anarchist
He's 5'10" at best.

For the record, I met him when he was running for Governor and had stopped at my school. I was a high-school freshman who didn't know any better. ;)

37. He's manifesting his moral size, so he's been getting smaller.
Before it's over he'll be a small pile of atoms. He's long since betrayed human birth.

38. I believe that Michelle is 5'10" and she was in 2-3 inch heels so Bush is around 5'10"
and maybe shrinking.

39. George Bush is 5'9". He changed his height to run for president.
Edited on Tue Nov-11-08 01:15 AM by TexasObserver
I am not kidding. He issued a new drivers license to himself, so he could clean up his record and change his height from 5'9 to 6'0.
