Go Fuck Yourself, Mr. Scalia

I finally found a connection, after years of searching, between right-wing theocratic leaders, and the right-wing activist judges they continue to appoint to the bench: they both like to flip off the American public.

A few years ago an old video of a rich, spoiled G.W. Bush circulated the internet, showing our President extending upward toward the God who told him to invade Iraq, the finger between his index, and ring fingers. This is known by anthropologists as “the fuck you finger,” and is typically seen as a gross sign of disrespect in Western culture.

In a strange twist of irony, the apple of Bush’s cocaine-glassed eye, Judge Scalia, mimicked the very man who claims such affection toward him…while leaving church:

Minutes after receiving the Eucharist at a special Mass for lawyers and politicians at Cathedral of the Holy Cross, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had a special blessing of his own for those who question his impartiality when it comes to matters of church and state.

“You know what I say to those people?” Scalia, 70, replied, making an obscene
gesture under his chin when asked by a Herald reporter if he fends off a lot of flak for publicly celebrating his conservative Roman Catholic beliefs

Hey, I’m all for flicking off whomever, especially after receiving a special Communion, or even during Mass, but doing so on the steps of a Church when you're ranked a distant second to "Jesus" as the most celebrated figure for the Christian Right will net you some attention. Add Dick’ Cheney’s “go fuck yourself” on the senate floor, and the Religious Right has a trifecta they can really call their own…or should I say, a Holy Fucking Trinity?
