Norwegians Confused by Bush Salute
2005-01-21
So what is it now, God obsessed right wing crazy or Satan worshipper?
OSLO, Norway - President Bush's "Hook 'em, 'horns" salute got lost in translation in Norway, where shocked people interpreted his hand gesture during his inauguration as a salute to Satan.
Bow to me, Norway! Worship me! Satan demands it!
That's what it means in the Nordics when you throw up the right hand with the index and pinky fingers raised, a gesture popular among heavy metal groups and their fans in the region.
Beavis and Butthead roadtrip to Norway.
"Shock greeting from Bush daughter," a headline in the Norwegian Internet newspaper Nettavisen said above a photograph of Bush's daughter Jenna, smiling and showing the sign.
They must've just missed when her eyes glowed red and her serpents tounge shot out of her mouth.
My kind of woman
For Texans, the gesture is a sign of love for the University of Texas Longhorns, whose fans are known to shout out "Hook 'em, 'horns!" at sporting events.
And weddings, funerals, church services, etc....
Hook 'em Horns! Satan demands it!
Bush, a former Texas governor, and his family made the sign to greet the Longhorn marching band as it passed during the inaugural parade through Washington during Thursday's festivities, explained Verdens Gang, Norway's largest newspaper.
They probably still think it was a sign of his deal with Satan. But even the moonbats know Rove's on the hook for that...
