Nicolas Sarkozy, his successor as the Grand Poobah in France.
Le Parisien has the news that President Sarkozy, a towering five foot five, which, by the way, makes him shorter than Napoleon, has decreed that tall bodyguards are a no-no in his retinue.
Buddy be tres sensitive about the whole height thing. He wears special elevator shoes, has been seen on his tip toes at international events and stood on box to remain shoulder to shoulder with Barack Obama at the Normandy events of last year.
Interestingly he did marry a woman who is five inches taller than him. But, of course, Carla Bruni=Sarkozy is ridiculously hot so she gets a pass.

Apparently, other "little people" would look down on him for falsely making himself taller than he really is- 'heightening' is frowned upon... of course such uh,'facts' are from Mickey on the Seinfeld show, so I suppose the validity of all that can arguably be questioned given the fictitious, yet comedic source ;-)
