The New York Times referred in passing to John McCain’s diminutive stature over the weekend. I just checked and he’s 5′ 6″ — same as everybody’s favorite presidential short-joke Mike Dukakis.
Nothing more to add. Just color me surprised.

As a 6′2″ female, I’d like to take this opportunity to smugly post my height in this thread.

Wow, if you had an 8″ penis I would consider penciling your name in come November.

As a 6′3″, slightly stooped male, I’d like to ask, who do you think they squeezed into those fighters over Nam, Jets linemen? (PS, the Jets DID win the Super Bowl in ‘69. Jets, Mets, Nam, walk on the moon, some year.

Ole,
Envy is overpowering; resist. Do you make that promise to everyone?

There is an interesting stat that reveals that the tallest presidential candidates usually wins. If height is a factor in being presidential, it could explain why the media didn’t take Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich campaigns seriously.

After a certain age, the human body literally shrinks in stature, as bones, muscle, and cartilege give way to the inexorable process of aging.

LOL!!

BD,
I was in faraway Korea in ‘69 so events got filtered through to us via Stars And Stripes. We got lots of coverage of sporting events and moon walks,but little of what was happening socially.
Nonetheless, we did find time to ridicule Tricky Nick in his ‘efforts’ to extract this country from Nam; like, by bombing North Viet Nam. He, like LBJ, thought we merely had to muscle up on the little chaps and they’d fold.
Sortta like Georgie Porgie and his ill-fated efforts to ‘fight’ terrorism. How many died in Afghanistan yesterday?
What’s that? They weren’t Americans? Oh, I guess it’s not terrorism if it happens to ‘others.’

Physical stature should have nothing to do with who gets your vote.
OTOH … how big the penis ….
