Weekly World News exposes the shocking truth behind today's surprise developments. It's guaranteed to drive you pig-bitin' mad!Senator McCain has asked for the Friday debate to be delayed so he may "focus on the economy". But insiders tell Weekly World News it's just a cover-up to hide his secret leg-lengthening surgery!
"I won't be dwarfed by a Democrat!", candidate declares.
Republican presidential hopeful John McCain has issued a tall order to his medical staff -- he wants to add 5 inches to his height so he won't look like a shrimp in the debates beside his Democratic rival, Barak Obama.
McCain, who stands 5 feet 7 inches, is painfully aware how puny 5-foot-6-inch Michael Dukakis appeared during debates with 6-foot-2-inch George H.W. Bush during the 1988 campaign. "Dukakis lost that election because he was shorter than Bush," McCain told an aide. "I don't want the same thing to happen to me when I have to go face-to-face with Obama."
Barak Obama stands an impressive 6 feet 1Å“ inches tall, and McCain feels if he can get to 6 feet, he'll be able to nullify the height advantage. . . .
