The random thoughts of a genius...er...gene nash.
members of the press, i salute thee!

Hot off the criticism over seemingly pre-judging a case, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has raised his hand to the press -- minus 4 fingers.

Emerging from a special mass at Boston's Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Justice Scalia was asked by a reporter if he received a lot of questions regarding his impartiality about separation of church and state.

Scalia responded, "You know what I say to those people?" and flipped the bird at the press. "That's Sicilian," he said.

Cue Dino. "When critics make you cry then just let the bird fly, that's Sicilian."

A photographer for the archdiocese snapped a picture of the one-finger salute. "Don't publish that!" Scalia warned him.

"Cameras sing their clicky-clicky ring and you'll know you've done a bad thi-i-i-i-eee-eee-ing."

I don't know whether the calls for his recusal after saying the prisoners at Guantanamo had no rights under U.S. law even before he's heard the case have made him particularly touchy about impartiality or not.

Considering this guy swings shotgun with Cheney, I think the assembled press should have run inside and thanked God that all Scalia did was finger them.

Because that would have been Sicilian!

No he's not losin' nothin', just has the balls to show the slimeballs the degree of respect they deserve. I applaud the guy for flipping the press the bird. If those arrogant pricks don't deserve it, no one ever has.

OK, now that I have that off my chest, probably wasn't the decorous thing to do, particularly in the process of stepping out of church. The media probably shouldn't even have been there, but them's the breaks.

Nonetheless, crudity ain't no crime. Besides, what're they gonna do, fire him?

specially if he starts takin the bench in an uncle junior style bathrobe rather than the more conventional judicial robe and/or starts sending his clerks out with shovels to dig up the briefs he claims to have buried out back 20 years ago.

And of course the arrogant arseholes in the press cannot tell a finger from a Sicillian gesture.  But then I would not expect them to actually report the news either. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,189275,00.html

I heard he made them an offer they couldn't refuse.
