Ok, hasn't this guy gotten the word that 1) Johnny Carson RETIRED 15 years ago and was PERMANENTLY replaced by Jay Leno and 2) Johnny DIED 4 months ago?

I think it was a bad joke.

Those reporters don't get out of the briefing room very often. Look at Helen Thomas, she's been stuck in that room for 60 years!!

OK... I assume the reporter was trying to be funny... although probably in bad taste since Carson is dead!

Reason #104976049 why people who aren't funny should not try to be.

Puffy McMoonface should have set the record straight. Since he didn't, I retract my theory of the thumb and submit that I too believe Bush was flipping off the press.

Yeah, until the Bush administration practically kicked her out.

Ha! She was banished to the back row!

Have you ever seen a more vindictive group of people?

Just in case you have any doubts... here's a close up. Definitely not a thumb.

Remember when she got into a huge blow-up with Ari Fleischer?

"Why does he want to drop bombs on innocent Iraqis?"

"Helen, the question is how to protect Americans."

"They're not attacking you."

"You must have forgotten about the Americans who were killed in the first Gulf War."

"So, is this revenge, 11 years of revenge?"

Man, that was priceless. She's got balls.

He's doing a thumbs up, actually. If you watch the video, you can see how his hand moves, creating the thumbs up motion.

Also, if he were flipping them off, you would see the bent (or folded over) pointer with the thumb on the side. If you look at the picture, it's obviously his fist running perpendicular to the floor and his thumb is up.

I hate Dubya, but he's not flipping anyone off.

After watching it again, I think I agree with you. Sorry Suze!

I actually think that it is his thumb. Stick your thumb up and twist your wrist so you are looking at your thumb straight on. It looks like that image.

Oh woops, did not see this. Yeah, I'm with Towie, I hate him, but he didn't do it.

This thumb looks remarkably like his middle finger if I do say so myself. I don't buy it.
