McSame promises to add 3 inches in height to North Koreans

[Jersey Devil]

LOL, WTF was that all about? South Koreans are apparently 3" taller than North Koreans according to McCain's handy dandy "Wingnut Almanac"? Or did he just pull that "fact" out of his ass and, while we are at it, who gives a flying fork?

1. Do they even measure themselves in inches?

[CoffeeCat]

2. Yes....yes!!

What in the world WAS that comment???

I thought he had a senior moment, but I couldn't pay close attention because
there was a slumber party going on in our house last night.

I Tivo'd the debate, and I definitely want to go back and see what that was
all about.

It was bizarre.

Anyone else understand what McCain said?

The South Koreans are bigger because of a better diet...

8. There is a list that is pretty easy to find on the Web, but I haven't seen an original source

The difference in the average height of NK vs. SK men is about 10 centimeters.

13. No disputing the facts.....

...but why the hell did he mention it last night? Is he accusing Obama of favouring the malnourishment for North Koreans?!?!

9. Said the sawed-off McCain

[FatDave]

10. He's wrong.

South Koreans just have better posture.

14. when you give hot bottled water to dehydrated North Korean babies...

15. They already tried to liberate the Koreans, that's what the Korean war was all about.

It remains a stalemate.
