On the Light (and short) Side





















This appeared in the Telegraph today about President Sarkozy. Just a bit of humor. One wonders how many men, people, of position, have such quirks.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been accused of banning tall workers from attending a factory walkabout – because they will make him look too short.

The 5ft 5ins tall leader is alleged to have sent aides to the plant ahead of an official visit, to stop anyone over 5ft 6 ins from appearing alongside him.

The claims come just a week after Mr Sarkozy was reported to have banned tall bodyguards from his presidential protection team.


Mr Sarkozy, who wears platform heels to disguise his size, is due to visit the Turbomeca areonatics factory near Toulouse on June 22.
