MSNBC reported Rumsfeld is only 5' 7" tall

[Proud2BAmurkin]

Little shit with a Napolean complex

[waiting for hope]

1. No shit. He probably

got beat up at school and called four eyes to boot. It's really sad - did you catch John Dean's comments about Rumsfeld on Countdown tonight? Pretty telling...

[TahitiNut]

19. He was a wrestler in school (Princeton University).

2. Lets make him a tunnel rat opps they had guts he don't

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

10. Now, now...let's be fair... he was a fighter pilot

even in peacetime, being a Navy fighter pilot is not for the feint of heart.

I hate the fucker, but be honest... he did do his part.

[benddem]

17. He never served in combat

he may have been a fighter pilot but he has not a clue how to do it with someone shooting at you.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

24. Does not make him less of a man, come on

Not his fault he was between the wars.

Jesus.

I can't believe I am defending Rummy.

[Fridays Child]

3. I love that they revealed his height but what was the context?

[DeadManInc]

5. That is tall for a bucket of shit!

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

4. I believe that is true, he and Howard

are about the same height and Howard has said he is 173cm... or 5'8" or so

[El Supremo]

6. Yeah, so what?

[lonestarnot]

15. What a fucking bully whimp lookin' freak.

[tuvor]

7. How do we know they didn't add a few inches?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

8. he's still taller than me

i'm only 5'6'

[Orrex]

12. Maybe so, but you're not an asshole

And even if you were, Rumsfeld would still tower over you because is a bigger asshole than all other assholes combined.

[bdamomma]

9. what did they used to call it SHORT MAN SYNDROME!!

[ThingsGottaChange]

16. You beat me to it

He has a serious case of SMS!!!

[StellaBlue]

11. I am 5' tall

I guess that explains it

:shrug:

[Zenlitened]

13. In terms of character, his stature is measured in millimeters.

In terms of decency, intelligence, and general worthiness to dare speak of America and her ideals... there is no scale small enough to measure Donald Rumsfeld.

"Contemptible" hardly begins to describe him, nor all the other vile little Masters of War so hell-bent on destroying our nation with poisonous lies.

[IChing]

14. How about this short guy also? Let's include him too

"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?"

[Dinger]

18. The chimperor Isn't Much Taller, Os he???

Isn't he like 5'2" or something?

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

20. He's An Embarassment To Short People Everywhere! nt

[samsingh]

21. Napolean complex alright

[Earth_First]

22. "Holy dogshit! I didn't know they stacked shit that high...

you tryin' to squeeze an inch in on me son?"

[PresidentWar]

23. Wasn't that Hitler's height?

[Mr_Spock]

25. I hate Rummy, I love Howard Dean

Can we cut it with the height bigotry on DU?

What will we be trashing people about next "hey, he's got a small penis" & "her breasts are only A-cups" - snicker snicker.

Glad we have infantile lounge talk infesting the GD now.
