To: TRY ONE
Howdy is 68" high.

From New Republic: "Chatting with reporters on his campaign jet recently, Dean complained about a New York Times story that had described him as 'diminutive.' Dean first noted that the Times reporter, Adam Nagourney, is 'about five-three.' Then he added, 'I don't know that I'm so short.' Well, a reporter asked, how tall are you? 'I'm five-eight,' Dean replied. 'Almost five-nine.' Dean probably should have stopped here, but he didn't. 'Five-eight and three-quarters,' he continued. 'The reason I don't tell anybody about the three-quarters is that it sounds like I'm very sensitive about my height. And I'm not.' Where would anyone get that impression?"

This man is unstable. Perfect for the Dimocrats, but unsuitable for all of us.

That's classic. If Dean doesn't realize that he comes across as sensitive about his height, which is something he's had to deal with for decades, how is he going to know how he's perceived on the issues or on his personality?
