How tall is Marco Rubio? (Rethug lies extend to this)

[flamingdem]

He's officially 5'10" but those who've seen him say 5'6" to 5'7" - not a judgement about height but about his lies.

[reformist2]

1. 5' 2".

[porphyrian]

2. He wears special shoes. They also let him walk on water in republican circles. n/t

[flamingdem]

7. And a special bathing suit!

[porphyrian]

8. Very disturbing.

[flamingdem]

11. ps

your comment was hilarious but I couldn't find Rubio walking on water in google images -- Palin popped up so you've got to wonder how their algorithms work

[porphyrian]

13. Ha! Thanks.

[braddy]

24. That isn't Palin.

[Segami]

10. LOL! Sarah Rubio

[Segami]

3. He's below sea level.

[flamingdem]

5. LOL

He's certainly SUBpar

[flamingdem]

4. And this is with surely lifts, if they can lie about that what else?

[valerief]

6. Ah, yes, lying about running times, lying about height. These people

wouldn't recognize the truth if they tripped over it.

[Angry Dragon]

9. Willard must be over 7'

[sadbear]

12. He really is Lurch from the Addams Family.

[longship]

14. Somebody must have pressed the down button on his elevator shoes.

Ya gotta watch out for that. Ya know.

[flamingdem]

15. Marco has shoe elevators

Romney has car elevators ... there has to be a late night joke in there somewhere

[Sugarcoated]

16. Awww

he's a little munchkin man

[flamingdem]

17. They call me

I found a nickname for him, "Peque" short for pequeno or small in Spanish


found this:

Modern Love (Cuban Style)

I swear to Christ, my sister and her husband (who is from Cuba) are the modern day Lucy and Ricky. Today, he stalled his car trying to get out of a parking lot and she yelled in a high-pitched voice “PEH-KAYYYY” (we call him Peque, short for Pequeño—Spanish for little one—because he is 5’3”) “Ay por Dio watch what you’re doing!!!” and he responded in his broken english “Ayyyyy baaaaabe. If you wanted one perfect husband you no should look in COOBA”.

[Cannikin]

18. How tall is Jon Stewart?

I noticed when Rubio was on The Daily Show that they seemed to be about the same height when they shook hands.

[JI7]

19. Jon is 5'6"

based on your observations and the OP pic there is no way Rubio is 5'10"

i wonder why they feel the need to lie about these things.

[flamingdem]

20. I wonder if there has been a President ever who is 5'6" tall

and guess that the optics would have been awful with Romney standing next to Rubio.

[dems_rightnow]

21. And your answer is:

Yes.

[flamingdem]

26. Wow, Madison must have been a bad azz at that height

Now I'm curious and will have to read up on him, thanks!

[dems_rightnow]

23. Not so sure

There's a very brief time when they are at the same level. But during that period, Rubio looks noticeably taller to me.

But camera angles can change things a lot.

[flamingdem]

29. Good catch

It's all in the shoes, Rubio's might be custom made and Stewart might be wearing flip flops!

[Drahthaardogs]

22. Unless Romney is 6' 6", he is NOT 5' 10"

As a man who truly is 5'10" ( I used to be 5' 11" until several knee surgeries and spinal fusion) every guy out there 5' 8" and below claims to be 5' 10". It is funny.

[flamingdem]

25. Maybe it's a good thing that men can't wear heels

except maybe those shoe lifts. If they could we'd have a lot more people with back problems in the USA!

[ChoppinBroccoli]

27. I Was Waiting For The Punchline..........

.............."I didn't know they stacked shit that high." LOL

[3catwoman3]

30. J. Edgar Hoover allegedly used to...

...instruct his staff to tell anyone who inquired about his height that he was "just under 6 feet." He was 5-7.

Maybe Marco is "just under 6 feet." After tonight's performance, maybe his campaign will be 6 feet under.

[flamingdem]

31. He was baaad tonight, what was up with the Obama this and that

I hear the audience booed him
