The FR thread about the Finger noted the following weird Q & A by the White House Press Corps.

MR. McCLELLAN: Ken, go ahead.

Q Scott, last night on the Tonight Show, Jay Leno, who apparently is subbing for Johnnie, displayed a video of the President at the Capitol yesterday. In that video, the President walking away from the press lifts his hand and raises a finger. Mr. Leno interpreted it as, shall we say, a finger of hostility. Each of our fingers has a special purpose and meaning in life. (Laughter.) Can you tell us what finger it was he held up?

MR. McCLELLAN: Ken, I'm not even going to dignify that with much of a response. But if someone is misportraying something, that's unfortunate.

Q Well, it was not a finger of hostility?

MR. McCLELLAN: Ken, I was there with him, and I'm just not going to -- I'm not going to dignify that with a response. I mean, I haven't seen the video that you're talking about, but I know the way the President acts. And if someone is misportraying it, that's unfortunate.

Somebody ought to tell those investigative journalists not only has Johnnie been retired from the Tonight show since 1992 he's also very DEAD.

Oh, my! I am shaking my head in amazement at the comment about Johnny Carson, and LOL! And they like to call President Bush dumb and out of touch?

Roaring with laughter -- best laugh I've had in quite awhile. Too bad the WH doesn't ID the reporters who ask the various questions, because I'd love to know who that reporter was. And they think we're supposed to take them seriously?!

LOL! Subbing for Johnny. No wonder these fools can't report the news accurately, they are YEARS behind the time. Bwahahahhaaaaaaaa!
