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. |
