Size seems to matter in Kerry-Bush debate

In Kerry's case, speaking of horses is not figurative.

orange you glad you support President Bush?

"You know when your horse is headed down toward the waterfalls or when your horse is drowning, it's a good time to change horses in midstream," Kerry said.

Has anyone noticed that this is a paraphrase, maybe unconscious, of bin Ladin's famous words? I can't quote exactly, but it was to the effect that if men see a strong horse and a weak horse, they will choose the strong horse.

It's interesting that Kerry is drawing his words of proverbial wisdom from bin Ladin as well as traditional American election lore.

**...could it be that the President's campaign has actually goaded Kerry into making fun of the President's height?**

How would/did President Bush's campaign officials do that? :o/

[discipler]

Sophmoric crap! Pretty stinking sad that at his age he still thinks that his height means a thing. I guarantee you that anyone worth his salt can stare that jack*ss down. Such a statement tells me he's not up to a face to face confrontation with a real man. "Bring it on!"

[mrs tiggywinkle]

Hmm. Looks like sKerry's handlers slapped some self tanning lotion on him. Looks really bad.

Excellent observation, GD!

[1Old Pro]

5 11 is the NORMAL size for a MAN. Kerry is abnormal.

[discipler]

I remember that too and loved it. Didn't GW give a little smirk and then turn back to speaking?

[mrs tiggywinkle]

Thinking people know that height does not make the man. Character does. sKerry lacks that trait.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

My husband is 6'6". He thinks sKerry's a dweeb.

[sandpit]

Maybe he's trying out to be the new Orangemen Mascot.

[Julie(LCR)]

I think it is hilarious that he's playing around with horse imagery to begin with! If he starts talking about oompa loompa's, I will die laughing.

Either that or TeRAYsa has been beeeech-slapping him again.

[uncitizen]

"May I also suggest that we need a taller horse? We could get through deeper waters that way."

Now he's getting somewhere. This is the kind of bumper stick (B.S.) talk Demorats understand.

5 11 is the NORMAL size for a MAN. Kerry is abnormal.

Until I read that I never noticed the similarity between Kerry and OBL.  Both are gaunt, lanky, ugly, (rich by inheritance), and America-hating.

[chris1]

Don't forget millions and millions of men with thinning hair!

What an idiot!

[LexBaird]

World's Tallest Oompah Loompah speaks out! News at 11.

And, both OBL and Kerry have abnormal color in the face.

[cubreporter]

Remember it well. Kerry may be taller than President Bush but Kerry is a small, small person. President Bush is a giant among men. Once again...kerry/dem/libs don't get it.
