Thom Hartmann just asked Victoria Jones of TalkRadioNews if Obama is taller than Bush.....

[marmar]

..... then brought up how Bush likes these "kinesthetic power situations" where he appears bigger, noting that he wore lifts when juxtaposed against Kerry.
Sad, but I wouldn't be surprised. They're going to have to change "Napoleonic Syndrome" to "Bush II Syndrome."

1. Bush is 5'11.75"...

Obama is 6'1.5"

2. Bush is no where near 5'11" is he?

He acts like he's 4'11".

[Hansel]

3. But wishes he was 9'11".

[louis-t]

8. He was 9/11. Oh, did I say that out loud?

[rocktivity]

5. Bush is five ten and a half at the MOST.

His photos are rigged to make him look taller. This pic is perfect example--you think it's an accident that the biggest player is standing in the "foreground?" What are the odds of only ONE pro football player being taller than five foot ten?

9. He might be that tall with the lifts.

12. Yep, I know. Hey, maybe when he's being waterboarded his interrogators

14. 'Course he'll end up taller

once they get him off the rack.

13. Hmmm...I think Obama's got at least 3 inches on Bush.

6. Notice that she wasn't her typical self today after the election

I listened to a little of his program today and her normal motor mouth
replies weren't running on all cylinders.

11. I noticed that too....wonder what the problem is/was.

[Pirate Smile]

7. Both Barack AND Michelle looked taller then Bush (and Laura, of course).

[anniebelle]

10. Bush is a little man in more ways than height.

Hell, Michelle is taller than W.
