Madonna del Dito

For those readers of the Catholic persuasion who are fed up with the Bush administration but perhaps a bit too devout and saintly to stand up and shout out: "F. You Dubya!!", I give you Madonna del Dito ("Madonna of the Finger") or "Our Lady of the Finger."

This relatively obscure Italian devotional painting dates from the late 1600s and features a sorrowful Mother Mary in blue vestments with a solitary finger protruding from beneath her veil. Whether this represents her reaction to Pontious Pilate's decision to crucify her son or her disdain for that slut woman of questionable morals Mary Magdalene is unimportant, I offer Madonna del Dito as a proxy for giving George W. Bush the finger.

So go ahead anti-Bush Catholics, it's easy and you can do it guilt-free: pray to this Madonna and she'll give Bush the finger for you!
