pft This was on that site too. update: John Godfrey (Dow Jones Newswire) writes, "I was in the scrum of reporters at the event. Bush did not flip anyone off. He was clearly giving a thumbs up in response to a question shouted from the crowd." I called John to verify the email was from him and to ask him if there was any doubt in his mind, he said there was not. I forgot to ask him if he's sighted. Typical NBC.
What a bunch of idiocy. He's obviously giving the thumbs up sign. They just filmed it at such a position to make you think that at first glance. If you look closer, it becomes obvious.
