| The
Making of the Money Shot |

Did
any of you wonder, when you saw this photo of
Howard Dean and Bill Bradley Tuesday in Iowa, how
the diminutive Dr. Dean, who claims to be 5'8" and
three quarters (footnote),
appears the same size as the 6'5" former NBA star?
We did too.
Well
the images below, grabbed from CNN's coverage,
show us how this feat was pulled off with some
skillful platform use. Click the panels for larger
images or watch the clip we've provided to see
what's afoot. (Video Only: High Speed || Low
Speed) | |
|
|
In
the first frame, Bradley is speaking - and you'll
notice that he's standing on a platform, while
Dean watches far in the background. When Bradley
introduces Dean, they switch places. Dean steps
up, and Bradley steps
down. | |
|
|
These series of images
show, from behind, how their position switch puts
them at relatively equal height.
| |
|
|
Having duped their willing
accomplices in the media and (they think) all of
you idiots in America, they turn for the money
shot - and suddenly the vertically challenged
Democrat front-runner is as tall and imposing
looking as the former NBA superstar endorsing
him. | |

*** Footnote
"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?"
