ShortGate! Is Kucinich really the shortest candidate? [View All]

[Truth2Tell]

So one of the common knocks on Dennis Kucinich is that he's just tooooo short. Presidents need to be charismatic and Presidential and all, don't ya know. But Dennis is just too much of a shorty to qualify. In fact, conventional wisdom has it that he's the shortest candidate seeking the nomination this year. But is this really true? Could someone else be fudging their height? Hmmmm...

The Clinton campaign has in the past put out materials listing Hillary as five feet, eight and a half inches tall. This cardboard cut-out is five eight:

Dennis Kucinich is five foot seven.

But wait... it turns out it's only recent reports that place Hillary at a towering five foot eight! Older biographies consistently list her height as only five foot six?!

Has Hillary grown? Is someone fibbing? Would she really do that??

Let's look at photos from the last debate. Who looks taller in these pics? Hillary or Dennis? Hmmmm. Close call to me. And certainly Hillary doesn't have an inch and a half on Dennis. Not to mention that she's in heels.





So is Hillary trying to fudge the height issue? Could it be that it's Hillary, and not Dennis, who's not quite up to presidential proportions?

Could this be the beginning of ShortGate?
