Nikita Khruschev in midget shocker

[RedRalph]

I'm reading a bio of Khruschev at the moment and am skocked to discover he was only 5 foot 1!!!!

I always respected him for his buffoonery, his threatening to throw his shoes in the UN, baqnging tables while making speeches (a tendency sorely lacking these days), and calling the Phillipino ambassador a prick in public, but this is appalling... he was basically a dawrf. Stalin himself towered over him at 5 foot 6...

You don't need to be tall to be a great man. Look at Danny DeVito.

I am taller than Kruschev, Stalin, and Danny DeVito? That just made my day.

 

[holy king]

Kruschev, Stalin, and Danny DeVito

sounds like the beginning of a bad joke...

He's big where it counts

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Wait, Stalin was 5 foot 6? So then FDR must've been like 5 foot 4, looking at those pictures! I always thought Stalin was a good six feet tall. /shrug. I guess I'm about the same height at THE MAN OF STEEL.

You know the Soviet Union was just an attempt to compensate for something.

As was the R-36 ICBM.

Kurschev gave a midget the 'shocker'? Didnt know he swung that way.

That was how I read it too

But yeah, amazing how taller an official picture will make you look, eh?
