If Bush is 6 feet tall, then Fox (of Mexico) must be 10 feet tall. Bush

[patricia92243]

comes to his shoulder. I noticed when they were walking along that Bush walked way far from Fox and when they were going to speak their lecterns were way far apart - so they couldn't be compared I assume.

I guess when a person is unliked - as I don't like Bush - even their appearance is irritating. And I believe another of his lies is his height.

Bah, humbug - I need my morning cup of java so I want be so grouchy :)

1. Good AP photo

[spinbaby]

2. Looks like about 4 inches

And is our little chimp bow legged?

[bushisanidiot]

7. Not Sure If he's bow legged or if he just walks funny when he pees his

pants

[notadmblnd]

61. Looks to me like

he's afraid to get near those people. Kinda like he's ready to run away any second. What a coward.

[leftchick]

13. nah.... it is just a full

load in his pants...

[Auntie Bush]

32. Yep, truly bow legged. He really is a Chimp. Now we have proof!

[knight_of_the_star]

53. Nope, he's faking it

People who spend their whole lives in the saddle end up bow-legged. He's faking it to look like a "real cowboy."

[teach1st]

3. Further height comparison

Jeb is allegedly 6'4"

[Judi Lynn]

8. Hard to tell in this one

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. Beavis and Butthead

:silly:

[knight_of_the_star]

55. Huh huh huh huh

Hey Beavis, did you see that chick's tits?

ON EDIT: I couldn't resist. Just chalk that up as my stupid moment for the week.

[knight_of_the_star]

56. Love the look on Jebbie's face

He's probably thinking, "I'm only letting him grab my *$$ because mommy wants him to look good for the picture."

[maveric]

64. Jeb has a Herman Munster forehead.

An 8 incher I think.

[JI7]

4. chimp padded his shoes during debates with gore

in debate negotiations chimps side actually said debates where both would be standing and could be seen at the same time would be unfair. they wanted a sit down debate, and i think they got 1. in the other debates chimp's shoes were padded to make him appear taller than he is. the problem is that his "smallness" has more to do with things other than just his physical height.

[bushisanidiot]

10. Rove Surrounds AWOL With Shorter People As often as possible

his sockcockwalk on the Carrier is a perfect example. They must've held tryouts ahead of time to find the smallest AWOL supporters there..

According to this link http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/election/heightstats.htm the chimp is only 5'11". Of course, Rove probably had him grow a couple of inches in the last few years.. heh..



Notice how AWOL is straining to stand up as tall as possible as President Gore looks down on the chimp?

[atre]

47. That's an interesting photo... During the election,

I remember a media piece about the candidates' respective heights and it was said that both Bush and Gore were the same height. Judging by this photo, surely that is not the case.

[OneTwentyoNine]

29. LOL,he'll be in trouble with Kerry then.

Crips,how tall is Kerry? Is he taller than Clinton and Gore?

KKkarl better get up to speed once again on sit down debates and if I were Kerry I'd say hell NO!


David

[smirkymonkey]

40. Kerry is 6'5"....

SNL did a pretty funny piece on Edwards "campaign" against Kerry, suggesting that he was really campaigning for VP all along. I won't go into the whole skit, but basically it was implying that all of Edwards' criticisms of Kerry were really compliments and one of them was the "accusation" that at 6'5" and __ lbs, Kerry will be the "tallest, leanest president in the history of the United States."

[knight_of_the_star]

57. Won't matter

If Kerry is tall enough, he will STILL look down on Bush in a debate, even if it is a sit-down one.

[kskiska]

34. In addition, he had his podium lowered

so that he'd appear to be the same height as Gore.

[Cronus Protagonist]

51. Do you mean his lectern?

The podium is what they stand on. But if his lectern was lowered, wouldn't his appear lower alongside Gores? Or were they too far apart to tell, much like the Mexico meeting?

"FUCK BUSH" Buttons, Stickers & Magnets

[Gore1FL]

5. I noticed that too

Bush looks more and more diminuative as time progresses. He not only looked small, but he acted small during that press conference.

The best part of it though was when he said the following in defense of his 9/11 ads:

“How this administration handled that day as well as the war on terror is worthy of discussion,”

"First of all, I will continue to speak about the effects of 9/11 on our country and my presidency,"

"How this administration handled that day, as well as the war on terror, is worthy of discussion," he said. "And I look forward to discussing that with the American people. And I look forward to the debate about who best to lead this country in the war on terror."

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/07/politics/campaign/07CAMP.html

It sort of sounds like he just painted himself into a corner concerning testifying publically under oath to the 9/11 commission.

[ljm2002]

31. Yup.

Well, well. Something that Mr. Bush and I can agree on at long last. Yes, let's discuss how he and his administration handled that day.

Democrats, you are now free to use the Booker video and any other data you have about "how this administration handled that day". Bush opened the door with his ads, and has now propped it in the open position. You are not the ones politicizing it -- he already did.

PLEASE USE YOUR OPENING and waste these guys (metaphorically of course) -- because his / their handling of that day was AT BEST criminal dereliction of duty. For starters, let's find out how the chain of command is supposed to operate. Then let's find out how that corresponds to what we know of that day -- that the President* either was NOT INFORMED as events progressed, or he DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO and therefore DID NOTHING, or... worse.

Bring it on!

[Cronus Protagonist]

52. They missed out the most revolting part of his comments

6. Hey, over here!

If you look through google images, you'll see there are a couple of photos showing the two walking together, with Fox towering above Bush, but they are inactive links now, and can't be used.

I think they've carefully killed most of the ones which clearly show how short Bush actually is, compared to some other Presidents. It seems they're hypersensitive.

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. Here's a few pics for comparision

I love the first one where they try to make W look taller than Fox.









BTW: I met Jeb once and he is definitely very tall, somewhere between 6'2" and 6'4"

[leftchick]

15. how big and fat did his head look?

Jeb's head looks so out of proportion to his body.

[DoYouEverWonder]

36. I hate to admit it

but Jeb at the time was not a bad looking man. This was right before he became governor of FL and was touring the state. But that is why he's even more scary than his brother. In person, he came across as sincere and concerned, he can speak the English language adequately and seemed very reasonable. He even gave me his card and invited me to correspond with him, regarding some community work I was involved in.

BTW: Yes, he does have a large head but it was not out of proportion with the rest of him, he's just a big boy. Kinda like Baby Huey.

[charlie]

11. Vicente Fox is 6'6"

according to Texas Monthly (Google cache, original is registration req'd)

He's a big ol' galoot, but I agree, GeeDub has always looked to be shorter than 6" to me. Al Gore is 6"1':



This article says Bush is 5"11'

[leftchick]

16. well if they say 5' 11" then...

you just no it is not true. He is probably 5'10 " or less.

[charlie]

17. Who knows?

But I'm certain that the 6' that's been written into Presidential fitness reports is horseshit.

[Lisa]

49. Bush himself claimed he was 5'11"

In that Pelosi film, didn't he?

I'm sure Karl and Co. added on that "magic inch" to make him seem bigger and stronger! After all, with Gore at almost 6'2" and Clinton at more than 6'3", they had to puff him up!

[NicRic]

12. Being a short male ...

at 5'6" and a son who appears that he wont grow to be much taller then I. This obsession with the height of our President is actually a shame .I thimk of the very able politician that will never run for the office ,because others tell them they are to short to win .This shows a shallowness of the voting public ,if this is the way we pick our leaders. I always try to make sure my son has a good self image by telling him that its the size of your heart & the knowledge in your brain that makes you bigger ! Thank God ,that years ago the Americans where not so obsessed with size .We would never have had a President Truman ,or one of the very best Franklin D. Roosevelt. I know since those days ,for instance in sports ,it appears the players just keep getting bigger and bigger. However in sports I can see where size would make a differance .However in politics ,we need brain powerand a warm heart ,so those who have less are not forgotten. The reality is however, that size does make a differance ,so Iam glad we are going to have Kerry running against bush ! Even myself ,I was concerned that if Dean had won the nomination, his shoter stature might make the differance ! This is what we should be looking at >IQ order:
182 .. William J. Clinton (D)
175 .. James E. Carter (D)
174 .. John F. Kennedy (D)
155 .. Richard M. Nixon (R)
147 .. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
132 .. Harry Truman (D)
126 .. Lyndon B. Johnson (D)
122 .. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
121 .. Gerald Ford (R)
105 .. Ronald Reagan (R)
098 .. George HW Bush (R)
091 .. George W. Bush (R)
How come the lowest five on the list are all repugs ? My God, Clinton has double the I.Q. then bush jr. , now things are becoming clearer !

[Bronco69]

14. Are you serious?

GW's IQ is only 91 and his dad is only 98? That's scary!

[teach1st]

18. Scary if true, but....

http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/presiq.htm

[izzie]

23. It is like that ad where the man ask 'Tell me why I hired You?"

And the kid says "Because you are my father?' I think of Bush every time I see it. Hard work sometimes makes up for high IQ and we also see that who you know also does.They used to say the tallest man has always won the race for President. I am not sure that is very important as we had one man said to be short about 5'6" and he ruled all of Europe.

[knight_of_the_star]

58. He wasn't elected though

He was just a genius when it came to matters military, at least for the time.

[amazona]

54. the IQs are said to be a hoax...

...and I tend to agree. W has an IQ of 91? I seriously doubt it. I'd guestimate closer to 80. Poppy was no brain trust either -- 98 is around average and he's way below average. He had to "stand" next to Dan Quayle to even appear sentient if you'll recall -- he spent his administration drugged out to the point of puking on other world leaders. The GOP picks stupid men because they make better puppets -- can't have anyone in charge with a mind of his own, it could interfere with the looting and stealing.

In a report published Monday, the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton,
Pennsylvania, detailed its findings of a four month study of the
intelligence
quotient of President George W. Bush. Since 1973, the Lovenstein Institute
has
published its research to the educational community on each new president,
which
includes the famous "IQ" report _among others. There have been twelve
presidents over the past 50 years, from F.D. Roosevelt to G.W. Bush, who
were rated
based on scholarly achievements:

There isn't a "Lovenstein Institute" in Scranton, Pennsylvania (or anywhere else in the USA), nor do any of the people quoted in the story exist, because this is just another spoof that was taken too seriously.

33. How about this irony:

Bush*s IQ (91) is exactly half of Clinton's (182).

I'm convinced that Bush* is the shill. He is so dull that the Neocons have just programmed him. In fact, he is their "Stepford" whore.

[soup]

30. *jr bush fails on all counts-

'its the size of your heart & the knowledge in your brain that makes you bigger'

*He could be 7 foot tall and would still be the most lacking person in those categories.

Wasn't there a pic a while back of a podium with only *jr's hand showing above it?

[LDS Jock]

45. where did you get the IQ stats?

I'd love to have a source to through around to some repubs.

[rocktivity]

20. I'd be surprised if he were 5' 10"

A DU-er once called me anal for pointing this out, but his photos ARE doctored to make him look like the tallest person in them.

:headbang:
rocknation

[dbt]

21. Backing rocknation here!

Then there are the photos where bu$h is made to look like he has a HALO! (Go figure...) His pictures, his images on TV are the most carefully-controlled ones I ever saw concerning a president, elected or not!

But what impresses me is that every time I see bu$h on TV he appears smaller than the previous time I saw him on TV!

:evilgrin:

[sistersofmercy]

22. Find a picture with bush* near a doorway

Can't fake that one. I seriously doubt he's 6 foot, I believe he has much less height than that.

[jmowreader]

26. Good call. A doorway is 6'8".

The ones in the White House are probably 8'0" because they're more impressive-looking, but a standard American door is 80 inches high.

[lumpy]

25. Ronnie Reagan

was self conscious about his shorter stature also.

[Malva Zebrina]

28. It is not a matter of being sensitive

in Bush's case it is a matter of manufacturing an image out of an ugly stupid SOB-and that has been a highlight of his tragic administration--Everything about him, including the disgusting words that come out of his mouth is a lie. I usually do not like to make such broad statements, but in this case I think it safe to say "everything"

[leftchick]

35. Here is a reuters photo. LOL...He looks like a little boy....

compared to Vince....

[maggrwaggr]

37. I've met Bush. He's not six feet. I'd say 5'10"

Met him at a party in Texas while he was gov. He was in a suit and dress shoes. I'm 6'4 and I'm guessing he was about 5'10"

[sistersofmercy]

38. He doesn't even look that tall to me

Could just be the perspective but I believe he looks 5'8 or 5'9.

[Jaybird]

62. he has alligator arms......

that is what makes him look so short.....i'd say that he is about

5' 10" but he has the arm length of a much shorter person.

[charlie]

39. Ha!

I knew it! The doctor-certified height of 6 feet in his fitness reports is like everything else about him, a sham.

[ignatius]

41. I thought the same thing, Bush is no way 6 feet tall, maybe 5'8 in

his cowboy boots. And struttin' in his stetson.

All boots and hat, no man in between. BTW,I am not talking about his height in that last sentence.

[smirkymonkey]

43. George W* Bush is the smallest man in the world.

:nuke:

[knight_of_the_star]

59. Smallest in what sense?

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist!

[allalone]

44. it isn't his height

that matters. It's the fact that he can't seem to tell the truth about anything. Why would we care that he is only 5'9 or 5'10? What is this compulsion he has to be superman? I can't wait till the day that f***head is gone.

[ArnoldLayne]

46. Bush pile of crap

However tall he is I didn't know they piled sh*t that high. :evilgrin:

66. Yep. Compensation.

BTW, how can anybody with so much money dress as badly as Laura
Bush?

[Zinfandel]

67. A lttle twerp among men. Chimps never grow to six feet. His handlers

know this so they put him in those silly cowboy boot lifts. Curious George would much rather go barefoot and swing from a tree...perhaps a little white house in a banana tree in Crawford would make him happier and maybe he could learn some new tricks (instead of the tired old ones we're all sick of).
