Thumbgate 2005
Edited on Thu Jul-28-05 11:17 AM by WeRQ4U
I've just been informed that AOL has been showing this video as well as NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno". I must admit, that is very pusuasive. And if they are wrong...........oh the consequences.

1. You mean "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno"
If you can't get the name of a popular late night talk show right, how can you distinguish a thumb froim a middle finger?! </sarcasm>

6. Jay Leno's credibility will be shot
how will anyone believe his reporting after this fiasco?

8. In all seriousness
If my hypothesis turns out to be correct (and it will, lol) this will be just more fodder for the right wing to use against liberals.

"They want to discredit Bush soooo bad, that they would accuse him of this when it's CLEARLY a thumb."

Is it worth it?

11. I cannot believe that a flesh colored, flexi-pen is more plausible
Than another portion of the man's hand.

-----------

BUt let's not fight. Either way, it's the same type of response from Rethugs.

13. No he's not
The only difference is that he thinks it's a pen, while I think it's his thumb. Neither of us think it's Bush's middle finger.

And the middle finger is what most on here would LOVE to think it is. So is Skinner an apologist too?
