Tom Daschle: Man or Midget?

A few weeks ago, The Hotline reported that in an effort to make him appear taller, aides to Senator Tom Daschle had begun stacking phone books in his chair when he and Dick Gephardt held joint news conferences in which they both were seated behind a conference table. "Nahh...Daschle couldn't be that short," I thought. I always knew Daschle to be a small man, but I had never given much thought to his physical stature. So, intrepid cyber-journalist that I am, I conducted a little investigation to find out just how short Tom Daschle really is, and the results are astounding. All of these photos were found at Tom Daschle's website (which, incidentally, is just as lame as he is) and other than adjusting their size, none of the photos have been digitally altered in any way. I SWEAR!

It is interesting to note that in this photo, Tom is standing a foot closer to the camera than anyone else, and he still looks like a toy poodle.

This young female South Dakotan is probably 15 (16 tops), yet Daschle can look her in the eyes. We can't see their feet in this photo, and I'm betting the reason is because Tom is standing on the D.C. Yellow Pages.

This photo is interesting because the young lady appears to be purposefully slouching and bending at the knees to make Tom look taller. I guess someone else must have been using the phone book that day.

This picture makes Tom look like an underdeveloped 8th grader posing with his date for the school dance and her father.

Yet another example of Daschle towering under a teenager. There are three things that never change in all of these photos: Tom's unusual lack of height, those hideous paintings of cows on the walls, and the amazing consistency of Tom's "smiling for the camera" pose. I guess it is true that reptiles have only one facial expression.

This photo goes to show that Tom is not only short, but he is thin as a rail, too. I could knock this guy down by breathing on him.

Mr. and Mrs. Tom Daschle pose with President Bush during their private "reconciliation dinner and a movie." Daschle presented Bush with a portrait of the last Democratic president.

President Bush congratulates Senator Tom Dashcle on a game well played. Daschle, who's been known to sit on a stack of phone books to make himself appear taller, easily fit into one of the little league uniforms left over from Sunday's opening T-ball game.

He's a small person, height excluded.

Remember David Kincaid sitting on his briefcase at the Impeachment Hearing?

Hey Guys, Bump This Baby!

Speaking of "small", Clinton is now giving his hate speech on why we are being terrorized; they just don't come any lower, or smaller, than this sorry SOB.

[MHGinTN]

Tom is a little man ... and he's short too.

[KLT]

BTT, Guys and Girls

[mystery-ak]

Too, Too Funny....I have it on good authority that he has to be lifted up to the microphone to speak.

[cajungirl]

Funny! But how tall is he,,my guess is 5'4"

[KLT]

Heh, Heh, Heh, BTT

I think I've seen this b4.

Tom "Thumb" Daschle indeed. He recently was caught, I believe, sitting on a phone book when alongside Gephardt.

ROTFL!

[Cool Guy]

LOL!

[deport]

Irma, got your box he's stands on?

[DWSUWF]

Isn't the name 'Daschle' derived from 'Dasshole', which is a word in an obscure Teutonic tongue that means: 'The one who disappoints women twice'?

Thought I read that somewhere...

Until I got my specs on I was going to vote for the 'maggot' choice.....bah humbug.

[StolarStorm]

Who gives a damn how short he is? Plenty of short freepers on this board as well. This is all petty and pathetic.

[Thumper1960]

Not only NOT a man! Also, not a midget! Just another Demoncrat Troll. One of Satan's hench-boys. Little Tommy D'ASS'OLE. You know what they say about small hands and teeny feet................

I was in church this summer here in northern Minnesota. We get a lot of tourists through here in the summer. At the start of Mass, the priest encourages us to introduce ourselves to others around since there are so many visitors. I shook hands with several family members in the pew in front of us and asked them where they were from. They told me that they were visiting from South Dakota. I asked them if they could please do something about Tom Daschle. They told me they would except that they were related to him.
