Did anyone else notice the relative height of the security team announced yesterday? You might say that they are tall in stature, but not in bodies. Well, at least some of them.
There’s a stage manager somewhere who is embarrassed today. I think a moving podium might have been in order, or at least a little stool for the vertically challenged.
Take a good look, because this staging mistake won’t happen twice. (Imagine the conversations today in Hillary’s office.)
President-elect Obama – standing tall and confident.
Susan Rice for UN Ambassador – at least I THINK that’s her. Or it’s an alien with freaky eyes.
Defense Secretary Gates – if the mic were an ice cream cone, he’d be licking.
AZ Governor Janet Napolitano for Homeland Security – the mic placement really accents her haircut.
Senator Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State -big personality, even bigger microphones.
Gen. James Jones for National Security Advisor – Wait a minute, is he actually taller than Barack? Who let him in?!!
Eric Holder for Attorney General – Ahh, just right.
it almost seems sexist– until you realize that Robert Gates– definitely a man, also has issues with the mic height! woops!
Good thing he didn’t put McCain on the team. I heard he gets pretty irritable when he can’t see over the podium.
