Scalia does a gesture...
http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/03/27/scalia.gesture.ap/index.html

The Boston Herald reported Monday that the justice made "an obscene gesture under his chin" -- which prompted some online reports that Scalia had used his middle finger.

Untrue.

"It was a hand off the chin gesture that was meant to be dismissive," Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.

Um.. my cousins from Italy equate that gesture to a middle finger. Is this something new in the US I don't know about?
