Robin Unger put this up as a "camera angle correction."

  
I put in the heights, but it still doesn't work for me. 

And was Lady Bird Johnson really 5'6"? Maybe in heels she was, but heels don't contribute anything when you're sitting since it involves "standing on your sit-bones". 

I really have to question whether she was 5'6". I think she was shorter.


The most commonly given height for Jackie Kennedy is 5'7", and I dare say she looks more than an inch taller than Lady Bird. Maybe Unger wants to twist this picture around to see if he can get Lady Bird taller.

Pat Nixon was 5'5" and that's probably what Lady Bird really was.


Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Ford were also about 5'5".


 So, I don't see Lady Bird as having been any more than 5'5", which means that LBJ had 11 inches on her. 

This is how LBJ sat in convertibles in parades when he wasn't expecting a hail of bullets.
