How tall is * really? I mean REALLY.

[TexasSissy]

I've seen numbers stating he's about 6 feet tall, but when I see him on TV he's not much taller than Laura or his daughters. Are they giants, or is he NOT 6 feet tall?

If his daughters are about 5'5" to 5'7", it looks to me like that would make Bush about 5'9" (5'10" tops).

Anyone seen him in person? Does he wear lifters?

[underpants]

1. 6' or 6'1"

He just looks shorter in pictures

[TexasSissy]

3. Then his daughters and wife must be about 5'9" (not).

I swear. I'm not talking about seeing him on TV standing alone. When he's standing next to his wife, he's not much taller. I saw him dancing with his daughters, and I was struck by how not much taller he was than they were.

There is no way that guy is 6 feet tall, unless his family members are very tall, also.

9. Check out this website-his height seems to change

13. I looooove toostupid!

One of my favs when I'm needing a really good laugh!

2. 5'11". Kerry will tower over him in more ways than one. nt

[Marymarg]

4. Kerry is 6'5"

23. "and he eats punts like * for breakfast!"

(tm Monty Python)

5. Think he claims 5'11

When you see him in pix standing next to someone whose height is public knowledge, like Clinton (6'2- 6'2.5 depending on source) or Poppy (6'2) he looks more like 5'9-10.

[glitch]

12. Then he's probably 5-9

In my 20s I thought I was still growing because so many guys told me they were 5-8, and I was two inches taller than them. Finally I checked and I was still 5-8!
I think they feel they can get away with a little 2 inch lie.

[comsymp]

19. Yeah, and we lie about height, too

[Jack from Charlotte]

28. Exatcly. All guys under 6' tall lie about there heights.

Like football programs, they're all liars. I say this because I'm exactly 6' 3/4". Guys who swear they're 6' tall are frequently 3 to 4 inches shorter than me.

I say AWOL is 5' 9". Maybe near 5' 10" max.

15. Could you tell me what your Avatar means?

I forgot. I got one in the mail a few months ago as a bumper sticker and it's on my other car.....but I forget what it means???????

17. Here ya go

Thanks for asking and, presumably (since you have one), your support!

[onehandle]

18. Ugh. That photo hurts my soul. nt

[JI7]

6. in some of the pictures his daughters looked taller than him

or just like 1 or 2 inches shorter. i know he wore padding in his shoes when he debated al gore in the debates where they had to stand up.

7. Doesn't matter

how tall he is - there is no doubt he's got "Little Man's Diease"

[Logansquare]

8. According to whitehouse.gov, Bush 41(dad) is 6 ft tall

So, do you think George W. had a growth spurt in his 30s?

[blm]

10. He has special built shoes and suits to make him appear larger.

The best way to compare is to check out the pics of Bush when he went to the White House and sat down with Clinton BEFORE he was inaugurated. Bush looks VERY small in the pics sitting next to Clinton in a matching chair. Bush got rid of those larger chairs and now does his photo ops in much smaller ones.

It doesn't matter what size a person is, but it DOES matter how insecure they are about it themselves. It's just not particularly healthy.

11. Like I said

Little Man's Disease

[maggrwaggr]

14. I met him at a party in TX. He's probably 5 foot 10

I'm 6'4 so I've got a pretty good feel for it.

He ain't six feet, no way no how.

[punpirate]

20. His ANG medical records listed him as...

... 5'11" and change. After 57 years of gravity, he's probably in the mid-5'10 to 5'11" range.

But, he walks kinda funny, and that would suggest lifts. He's also fond of boots with rather tall heels. Probably the best indication of his height was when he was photographed next to Mexico's president, Vicente Fox, who's about 6'5" and wears cowboy boots, too. Bush looked like a dwarf next to him.

16. as my mother used to get me

every time when I was in HS Oh I didn't now they could pile shit that high and laugh at me

[lolly]

21. Explains the platform-building?

Weren't there posts a while back about AWOL demanding that platforms be built on the ground for him to walk on whenever he was outside? The explanation given was that he didn't want his feet to touch the dirt.

Or maybe, if he's going to be greeting (pre-selected) crowds of people, he wants to be standing on higher ground so he looks taller.

[belle]

22. Maybe he's SHRINKING!!

wouldn't it be terrific?

[LibertyorDeath]

24. How tall were you Belasco

This reminds me of The Legend of Hell House

[mark11727]

25. Great quote from Cary Grant movie "People Will Talk"...

"...you're a little man. It's not that you're short.

You're...little, in the mind and in the heart.

Tonight, you tried to make a man little whose boots you couldn't touch if you stood on tiptoe on top of the highest mountain in the world.

And as it turned out...you're even littler than you were before."

Buy it or rent it if you can.

[RDL]

30. And that

is the definition of liitle man's disease

[burrowowl]

26. A teen here in ABQ was recently awarded

an environmental medal at the WH. The reporter wrote in the ABQ Tribune yesterday that the teen was 6' and he said that GW seemed so short compared to everybody.
Apparently, Bu$h also weres elevator boots.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

27. Didn't he look like a midget next to Chirac?

Or maybe he IS a shape-shifter and at times has trouble maintaining the Chimp morph.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

29. If he's six foot tall

then I'm the virgin Queen of England.

Don't bother bowing to me, by the way.
