Here's the picture:<BR/><BR/>http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=133092<BR/><BR/>It looks to me as though Scalia did the flicking-the-fingers-under-the-chin gesture, which is definitely not the same thing as giving someone the bird. I wouldn't say that it is a nice gesture, but it isn't vulgar either; it's probably the most appropriate gesture to make to a bothersome photographer. Just as Scalia says, it is generally more of a dismissive gesture than an offensive one, though it still is somewhat rude. I don't blame Scalia for doing it; I can only imagine what lengths the photographer had to go to in order to draw such a response from a Justice of the Supreme Court.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495998.post-1143828303275975612006-03-31T11:05:00.000-07:002006-03-31T11:05:00.000-07:00P.S.

The game where everyone sits in a circle and the first person whispers in the next persons ear, and so on untill at te end of the circle the original message has totally been messed up in translation.<BR/><BR/>The source of your link's source, said it was a hand gesture some might consider obscene. Your source said "The Boston Herald is reporting Scalia's movement as "an obscene gesture" and a "flick of the wrist." That still is unclear, it could have been the wrist-under-chin gesture mixed with the middle finger." You went all the way to it being the bird.<BR/><BR/>I'm just saying the story seems uncredilble now because your post has jumped beyond what the original story says. This from someone that new nothing about the story until opening your blog.pramahaphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852898493878493736noreply@blogger.com
