Bush Flips Out

President Bush was allegedly caught on video giving the finger to the press during a visit to Capitol Hill this week. The White House, however, says Bush was merely giving the thumbs-up sign.

The video clip was originally aired on "The Tonight Show" and has since made its way onto various Web sites, where the curious have been trying to discern which presidential digit was raised.

It wouldn't be the first time Bush flipped out in front of a camera. In another recently unearthed video from his time as Texas governor, Bush was seen giving a "one-fingered victory salute" to a reporter prior to an interview. It also wouldn't be the first time someone from the administration employed a vulgarity on Capitol Hill.

Was Bush trying to send a message to the press? Check out the video and judge for yourself.
