I didn't see a thread about the first time Bush flicked a camera off, but if I remember correctly that wasn't in public. In any case, I'm actually not even sure if he's giving the thumbs up or what, but it probably doesn't matter, anyway. I suppose his conduct is overlooked no matter what.

OK so it's trivial and stupid, but it's indicative of the basic attitude he has towards the entire country- moderates and "undecideds" have to be growing tired of this by now, right?

― richardk (Richard K), Thursday, 28 July 2005 11:50 (twenty-one years ago)

It makes me really want to have a beer with him. He's good folks!

The previous one is better for the stupid giggling that follows.

He's def giving the thumbs up.

― giboyeux (skowly), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think so.

I think it is def a thumb

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:30 (twenty-one years ago)

that is one long thumb.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

(xpost) Bush has a very long, skinny thumb located at the center of his carpals?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

see, if the prez just starting using the goat instead, he'd avoid this kind of confusion.

folks... do a thumbs up... those are totally his fingers off to the left side of the protruding finger. as much as my liberal heart loves to watch conservatives squirm when both the pres and vp use adult language on occasion, i just can't help but not care. let's not make a boob out of a mole here.

A boob out of a mole? That's one unsavory metaphor. I don't think that's going to catch on.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

true... i apologize.

let's not discuss it, yet; let's just vote finger or thumb

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

THUMB.

― giboyeux (skowly), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:40 (twenty-one years ago)

thumb

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I gotta admit, the "fingers on the left side curled around" theory is starting to make sense. And him flipping off a bunch of cameras, unprovoked, would be pretty weird. And Jay Leno obviously thought it was a finger.

I vote thumb.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, so it is actually a thumbs up. For some reason I thought that was his left hand, not his right.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

that's so like you, kenan

this video is like an inverted image optical illusion -- if you stare at it long enough, it becomes the other thing

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

If it is indeed the bird, then this man has no thumb, nor the stumpy bit that the thumb protrudes from making it "opposable". This is a thumbs up.

Of course it's a thumbs up.

The original birdie, though, is brilliant, and yes, just for the extended Beavis-like giggling that follows it. Could someone please go back in time to 1999 and blanket that clip over the entire country?

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 28 July 2005 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

It's his pinky.

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Thursday, 28 July 2005 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

It's his PENIS!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 28 July 2005 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

haha its totally beavis +

Haha, nick, you're thinking of Jim Morrison.

― Dave225 can't find his password, Thursday, 28 July 2005 16:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Aw jeez, it is a thumb afterall. I wish I'd never read this thread.

― Chris H. (chrisherbert), Thursday, 28 July 2005 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

it's really hard to watch that one from the 1990s and not come away fairly confident that he is, in fact, mentally challenged in some essential way.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 28 July 2005 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

No, just drunk.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Thursday, 28 July 2005 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

couldn't it be his index finger? that's what I thought.

― I know some come from the reality (wetmink), Thursday, 28 July 2005 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

actually now I think it's a thumbs up.

― I know some come from the reality (wetmink), Thursday, 28 July 2005 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I belive it was his middle finger of his right hand insulting the citizens of the United States and i belive the media should make an issue of it there is no excuse for this to be ignored by even the corp. oowned media that seem to ignore any most all of the things this president does to insult the country what are we doing with this hick as our president or am i in a dream

― Thomas Keegan, Sunday, 7 August 2005 21:08 (twenty-one years ago)

you're dreaming of you dont think that was a thumbs-up.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 7 August 2005 21:17 (twenty-one years ago)

It makes me really want to have a beer with him. He's good folks!

Please be sure to get the entire event on hidden camera? Kthxbye.

― j.lu (j.lu), Sunday, 7 August 2005 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, if only! (I'll bet if he still drank beer, it would be the really shitty American swilsner.)
