At least he was taller than Bush.
You’re talking GW Bush because Bush the Elder was certainly taller than RR.
Actually I don’t think GW was taller than RR. I saw GW at his first inauguration gala while dancing with his wife Laura. He is reported to be 6’0” and he seemed a little taller than RR but definitely more broad in the shoulders than RR. Part of that could have been that GW was younger and more athletic than RR. GW seemed bigger physically. But intellectually and in the sense of ‘Command Presence’, GW was a lightweight compared to RR.
It really doesn’t matter. This topic is starting to become asinine. Someone said Rand Paul is too short to be President. I said RR was not tall. I also said he was not short. I also said again that there were many opponents of his and other world leaders that were much taller and bigger than he but his style and manner made him a giant.
I just don’t think height is so important. Robert Reich is really short but his ‘Command Presence’ is nonexistent. But put Ted Cruz into Robert Reich’s frame and you would have a giant in stature.
