what is the context of the Bush "middle finger" photo?

I've seen this all over the place. Does anyone know when it was taken? Who was he giving the finger to?

Thanks

1. Governor Bush was told by Karen Hughes to straighten his hair
just before they were to go on air in Texas.

He did it, gave her the finger, and smiled.

But this was supposed to be a born again Christian at this point.

2. One fingered victory salute if I remember correctly -
He was being interviewed during an election - I think 2000 - and he was giving a one-fingered victory salute.

I don't have a link....

If you Google 'Bush + Finger' I think you'll find a bunch of info --

Someone was prepping him for an interview and he jokingly gave the finger. At least it appeared to be in jest...he was laughing at the time. Strike that, he was smirking.
