Yeah, why not? Why go for a Brad Pitt, when there’s a Danny DeVito waiting in the wings.

These ‘short’ Englishmen ‘conquered the world’, so attitude must be everything? Mind you, the women back then were generally well under 5′in height.

Personally, I believe that a person your own size is best … all the important bits are at an equal height … and you can share clothes … and it’s easier to share/carry loads.

Short men don’t continually bang their heads, they have better circulation, generally have stronger backs and are more supple, they don’t complain about ‘leg room’ all the time or how low the sink is, and they gobble up less of the world’s protein.

There is simply nothing worse than a big man bearing an assumed superiority and a bad attitude. To hell with media driven fashion preferences, a good guy is a good guy – no matter what he looks like.
Come on folks, let’s hear three cheers for good natured short bald smokers! ;-)

Well, that’s good then.

“Manhood”? What?! All I’m saying is, that he is blessed with a warm and generous nature. And what he lacks in height, he more than makes up with his “big” heart. And that’s what matters most to Carla.

I might be impressed if I knew how you can refer with such authority to the size of Sarkozy’s manhood.

Too tall, eh? Could be. Though I should perhaps add that I have known some powerful people in television administration who did seem to be compensating for their lack of height.

Thank you William. I also recalling seeing RD Muldoon at some of Bob Jones’ excellent parties, sitting on a couch, surrounded by young and very beautiful women. I had difficulty putting this down to his looks or charisma. A more probable explanation was to be found in the adage that “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac”.

I was personally successful in this regard only once, but from my years of lurking in the shadows I observed that the RD Muldoon you mention had a greater strike rate, so to speak…

Perhaps there’s a sociologist somewhere keen to establish the mathematical correlation between a lack of height, an excess of girth, the presence of power, and an unlimited supply of charm.

For my part, it is enough to console myself with the thought that a score of three out of four isn’t bad.
