Default Sarkozy's shortlist: 5ft 5in French President

Sarkozy height of folly: Ordering 20 short people to stand behind him to make him look statuesque | Mail Online ...

It's hard work looking like an imposing statesman when you're only 5ft 5in.
Nicolas Sarkozy has resorted to standing on a box and even rising on to his tiptoes to disguise his height - or rather the lack of it.
But for a televised speech at a major industrial plant, the French President and his aides were taking no chances.

The guy is short afterall, and very short at that. I can dig it. I'm 5'8 without shoes on, and I'd tower over him.
