You will make up any lie to protect your lying MessiahRushie, including inventing a name at the bottom of the bust!!!You just don't know when to quit, do you? One more time, now pay attention. Gore pointed into the room and to the right (at Washington) and panned to the left and said "Who are these people?". He didn't say "Who is this person" or Who is that person", he said "PEOPLE". That means ALL of them. And when he said "Franklin" (after he asked who they were), it looked like he was reading it (probably saw the name underneath the bust). And clearly, Washington was at the SAME LEVEL as the rest of them. Don't try to lie about it's placement. Gore did not know who any of them were and all of your hair splitting about his pinky finger isn't going to change that. Anyone can watch the video and see that you're trying to cover for Gore's utter stupidity (with your own).You just can't admit the truth even when it is staring you in your face. Gore was clearly pointing to the two busts in the middle and he got impatient when the curator named the busts he knew and pointed to them AGAIN holding out his first finger and pinky to get the curator to name them after Gore named the bust of Franklin.Give it up, ed. You lost this argument when I posted the link. Anyone can watch it and see that Gore was clueless about those busts. You would admit it too if you were honest.Well we have made progress. You no longer claim Gore couldn't name the bust of Jefferson since there was no bust of Jefferson, and while you obviously heard Gore name the bust of Franklin, the other bust your MessiahRushie lied about, since you are conceding it without being honest enough to affirm it, you now what to argue about Washington.He pointed at George Washington and said "Who are these people?". Let's say that he recognized Benjamin Franklin. Give him a medal but he failed to recognize the father of our country. Our Vice President didn't recognize George Washington! The man is an idiot, which is probably why you are defending him, you identify with him.Now you are just playing dumb so you can lie.
When Gore points to the busts with a pan from right to left, his arm is at the same height the whole time, so he only pointed to the wall sconces. Washington was not on a wall sconce.
After Gore finished his pan at the left flank he starts to lower his arm and then almost immediately he repoints to the left flank bust and says one word, "Franklin." Gore said it talking over the curator saying "Washington on the extreme." When Gore repoints to the left flank bust he does not raise his arm as high as when he did his pan, his pointing finger just clears his right shoulder. The camera looks over his right shoulder as Tipper's moves her head down and to the left while he repoints to the left flank bust and name it "Franklin." So keep your eyes on Gore's right shoulder and Tipper's head when you see her head move and listen for Gore's distinct voice talking over the curator, and then tell the truth for once in your life.

First of all, the bust of Washington is not visible in the video, so how can YOU prove Gore pointed to his bust?
Remember the curator gave 5 names and there are only 4 wall sconces and the position of the Washington bust was described as "on the EXTREME right." The 4 sconce positions were named as L to R, Franklin, Lafayette, John Paul Jones and Adams. So where do you think the EXTREME right position is?
Now I have been to Monticello before that 1993 visit when there were 5 busts and I saw that Washington's bust was parked in a small semi circular niche to the right of the wall sconces and much lower than the sconces. The bust of Adams in no longer there and Washington has been moved to the middle of the sconces along with Franklin after the 1993 tour.
Here is a panoramic view of the way the Tea Room is laid out now and you can see where the niche is relative to the wall sconces and the door.. Click in the image and move your mouse to rotate the view 360 degrees.

When exactly in the video did you "see" Gore point to the semi circular niche to the extreme right of the 4 wall sconces?????
People means more than one, not necessarily all, and Gore did ask the name of the two busts in the middle, Lafayette and John Paul Jones. The curator undeniably GAVE MORE NAMES than Gore asked for. Gore pointed into the room to the right center (at John Paul Jones), and certainly did NOT point to the EXTREME right where the curator said Washington was.
You still haven't indicated where in the video you SAW the bust of Washington, which is never visible in the video because it was so far to the extreme right it was right next to the doors about waist high.
Show me the name of Franklin at the bottom of his bust, liar.
