Why would anyone think that a justice of the Supreme Court using an Italian hand signal for fuck you, in a cathedral, when asked by a reporter to comment about his critics would be news worthy? He is obviously coming unhinged. Maybe he needs to take a time out and go duck hunting with Cheney.

"Growing national controvery"?
This from a 50 cent tabloid that is given away for free in downtown Boston every day. I mean, I’m pretty sure that most people wouldn’t want to be caught dead reading it in public.
Overblown much?

LOL. I’m sure if John Kerry had given a reporter the finger and sworn at him during Mass, Rob would have ignored it too.

I probably would have posted on it, laughed about it, and then pointed out that sometimes the journalists deserve it.

Justice Scalia’s use of an ancient Sicilian hand gesture should be applauded. For the reporter to have intruded on the justice is in itself offensive. Scalia is entitled to his privacy the same as anyone else, and there is no excuse for a reporter ambushing him on his way in or out of church. Certainly nothing the reporter asked Scalia was either newsworthy or even modestly important.
Indeed, the questions asked were inane and stupid, designed to denigrate Mr. Scalia rather than elicit pertinent and legitimate information. The reporter, obviously an anti-Christian biogt, was attempting to use Scalia’s catholic faith as leverage against the jurist ("When did you stop beating your wife?". He’s fortunate that Scalia didn’t do a "Buzz" Aldrin number on him.
Hoorah for Antonin Scalia!

Obviously.

Despite Scalia’s insistence that the Sicilian gesture was not offensive and had been incorrectly characterized by the Herald as obscene, the photographer said the newspaper “got the story right.”
I thought the reporter said he made an "obscene gesture"… Sounds like she was wrong. He made a gesture while saying something obscene. It’s all in the details.

Good for Scalia. Now if we can just get him to wipe his ass with Mexican flag all will be good.

I’d pay good money to see him punch a reporter in the mouth, double it if his fist is wrapped in the Constitution!

I’d pay a lot more if I got to name the reporter.
Clearly Justice Scalia is far and away intellectually superior to the lot of them. But even at his age, and weight, I’ll bet he’s even tougher than he looks and throws a pretty solid punch.
