Justice Scalia flips the finger in church
BOSTON (UPI) --
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia startled reporters in Boston
just minutes after attending a mass, by flipping a middle finger to
his critics.
A Boston Herald reporter asked the 70-year-old conservative Roman
Catholic if he faces much questioning over impartiality when it comes
to issues separating church and state.
"You know what I say to those people?" Scalia replied, making the
obscene gesture and explaining "That's Sicilian."
The 20-year veteran of the high court was caught making the gesture by
a photographer with The Pilot, the Archdiocese of Boston's newspaper.
"Don't publish that," Scalia told the photographer, the Herald said.
He was attending a special mass for lawyers and politicians at
Cathedral of the Holy Cross, and afterward was the keynote speaker at
the Catholic Lawyers' Guild luncheon.

The man is very sick. Not likely you'll be hearing any outrage from
the Religious Reich. He's one of their boys. So it's OK to blaspheme.
Comes close to Tricky Dicky Cheney's "Go ***** Yourself" on the Senate
floor.
