Poll question: Lets Settle Once And For All: Pick A Finger! A, B, Or C?
Edited on Thu Jul-28-05 06:54 PM by DistressedAmerican
Now that I have brazenly declared the pen theory dead and the whitehouse is calling "The Gesture" a thumbs up, I figured I'd remind you all what the possibilities look like in order to better diagnose this behavior:


Here are the three possibilities for you:

A) Thumbs Up!
ALSO ON REQUEST:

B)Number One!


C)THE BIRD



NOW TELL ME WHICH YOU BELIEVE "The Gesture" TO BE?

1. I voted "finger of hostility" but
to be fair, the thumbs up example should be positioned so that we see the side view of the fist.

29. MISLEADING photo .. try this.. use thumb BUT..
tilt your hand some.. so the thumb is straight up and knuckles forward, and that would be a better comparison.. I know how much I wish it was a fuk u to the media and America.. but the width of the wrist and hand really makes me think it is the thumb. try this with you own right hand.... and hold it in the air...

bush says fuk you in more creative ways every day....

I'll admit it might be middle finger, if you admit it might be thumb
:)

Im going back to working on '06 house control and impeachment. Conyers will gain traction eventually... Rove , DSM ...

just keep swimming.. just keep swimming...

2. That's quite a demo you've fixed
up for us, Distressed!

You say it's NOT a pen?

4. You know, there is something else that's longer than it is wide

and it could have become bonded to his palm through previous overuse.

5. Why is this even in doubt
It's obviously the middle finger. The vid-cap, Occam's razor and motive are my evidence.

7. Index finger -- #2
I watched the video, and its his pointing finger, like he's motioning his group forward.

sorry, guys, thats his thumb to the left of the finger.

12. No, his thumb is up his ass where it always is. Did you believe
the "badly tailored shirt" story too? Or are you the source of that story?

30. I agree...
When I first watched the video, my first thought was that it's his index finger. It didn't seem far enough to the right to be the middle finger. While I can see how it could be thought to be a middle finger or a pen, I'm gonna stick with my first instinct.

10. It's the index -- or pointer finger -- also the one he uses to
pick his nose (where's THAT picture?).

11. NOT FAIR DistressedAmerican!
Do another one with the thumb and rotate the hand so that the thumb is in the center when you view it. (so that you can see the other four finger just begining to show) Then extend the thumb like you are rooting for you football team........ then take a pic and let us see that one.

19. It's probably a pen.
Bush wouldn't be that stupid to flip the bird knowing the cameras are rolling. We need to find out who the guy is in the grey suit. He was looking up at it, he would know.
