Is this flip the bird picture of Bush for real???

[Bread and Circus]

It's almost beyond comprehension if so.

I almost have to think it is photoshopped.

1. The flag clearly is...

so I would imagine so is the hand.

Never seen that before.

3. If you zoom in on the picture, you can see that the pixels

around the finger are different from those around the borders of other things in the picture.

I think it has been photoshopped.

4. No,

I would think that's photoshopped - otherwise his finger is mighty pale... of course, that could be from a variety of reasons, all of which would get this thread deleted if I started to describe them! :evilgrin:

There is that little video of him flipping the bird, however - and that one is for real!

5. aww, come on, give me reasons. use euphamisms. giggle

7. I noticed the color was off too

The change seems to come around the knuckles. The difference of skin tone above and below the knuckle are seems great. Could be lighting. Who knows.

11. I saw the flip the bird video

6. Our moral leader? Never

Dunno. Seems odd he'd be caught on camera flipping the bird, but it's possible. Was it in Canada?

8. Bush has a history of doing this.

9. IMO it's photoshopped.

But funny nontheless. It's not unlike him to flip people off.

10. Definately photoshopped

I have this exact photo only he is holding his dog rather than the flag. I saw the original of that photo as well and he i not flipping the finger. I passed it along to everyone I knew before I knew it was shopped.

12. I've seen this pic with him holding Barney.

So something is photoshopped.

Want the real thing?
