When I read the initial story about Justice Scalia "flipping off" a reporter the other day, I knew there had to be more to it than was being reported, so I reserved comment. Breitbart reports today that it was a totally different gesture, it is not obscene, and J. Scalia is taking on the irresponsible reporter and paper that reported it.

In part, his letter to the paper states:

"From watching too many episodes of the Sopranos, your staff seems to have acquired the belief that any Sicilian gesture is obscene _ especially when made by an ‘Italian jurist.’ (I am, by the way, an American jurist.)" 

Don’t you all ever get tired of a total bias in the media. I mean, here was an out-and-out lie being reported in a major paper and linked on Drudge. When the truth comes out, we again discover it is a story "created" by one reporter’s ignorance and/or malevolence. This is getting very old.
