We were being led by TINY people!

[Clio the Leo]

Was anyone else taken aback by how much shoter Bush and especially Cheney (read as Tweetey says "Cheeeney") are than Barack and Joe?





I realize that Barack and Joe being 6'1" are slightly taller than average, but they're not exactly giants.




Yet They tower over Bush and Cheney. I find myself being even less impressed with Cheney than I was before! (ha!) Who knew we were being led by such SMALL men!!! I feel like I've been cheated!!! Lied to!!! Why was this not disclosed to us earlier!!!! ha ha

1. In the beginning....

many years before the bush destroyed all semblance of justice and economic security, there was talk that the silly little man wore shoe lifts. Sometimes he seems to be walking on his tip toes, which usually is a sign of lifts.

2. I think you and I have a different definition of the word "led"

:rofl:

3. Well, Bush has always appeared taller when helped by his enablers (Fox)

Notice that Bush's eyes are almost level with Kerry's in the last picture when they were barely coming up to Kerry's nose in the first two.

5. Check the level of their shoulders, too.

4. I noticed that yesterday! Cheney and his wife were towered over by Joe and Jill

Cheney needs some serious exercise. Love how the Rethugs made fun of Al Gore for years but the stout Cheney needed to look in a mirror.

[Clio the Leo]

8. I know! I thought Jill was about 5'4". NT

6. Great Post!

7. Being the smartest motherfuckers in the room tends to make you

look a bit taller than others.

9. I think the average height for males in this country is 5'8''

so being 6'1'' makes them considerably above average.

[Occam Bandage]

10. American averages for males are 5' 9.4" total, or 5' 10.2" for whites and 5' 10.0" for blacks.

11. Really? Wow.

I guess all those stats books I used were seriously out of date.

[Jennicut]

15. Really? So Barack and Joe are pretty tall, considering.

[lolamio]

12. I think Robert Reich is like 4"11. He's a pretty smart dude. Height is relative.

[Jennicut]

16. He is adorable, I love Robert, Very intelligent as well.

[abumbyanyothername]

18. Robert Reich

has not struck me as excessively intelligent in his recent appearances on MSNBC shows.

Of course, lately, I can't even stand Rachel Maddow, as my disgust for anyone who simply wants to play the blame game expands out of control.

13. Really I think Obama and Biden are closer to being "giants"

than * and Cheney are to being "tiny." They're both around average height for American males.

[No Elephants]

14. Obama does not even stand up straight! The real standout is Michelle's height, though.

[AllentownJake]

17. I'm 5'4

So was James Madison. He wrote this crazy thing called the Constitution. :shrug:

[rockymountaindem]

20. But he was still a shrimp so let's rip on him

:sarcasm:

[mokawanis]

19. I'm taller than all of them

I tower over Obama by 1 inch. :silly:
