So there was a little bit of confusion, apparently, when Bush used this particular gesture, above, during his inauguration. "Many Norwegian television viewers were shocked to see President George Bush and his family apparently saluting Satan during his inauguration yesterday," wrote The Scotsman.
(Questions for the reporter: no one watched the inauaguration in Scotland? No one questioned the gesture? Everyone there is a UT fan? Were you on vacation in Oslo?)
Anyway, we all know that to thousands of Texans it represents a Texas Longhorn, the mascot of the University of Texas. However, I don't think we can escape the fact that our national leader, easily the most reviled person on the globe, uses an internationally recognized symbol for Satan as a greeting.
Is it possible that our president is, perhaps unwittingly, in the service of Darkness?
Interestingly The Scotsman also reports that "the sign also means bulls*** in American Sign Language."* (Ironic for so many reasons!) I think the press corps should adopt the gesture for all future conferences whenever the President evades a question or responds with utter nonsense.
My next question: is this person a Texan expressing solidarity, a devil-worshipper, or someone calling the President's bluff?

Now in this case you didn't have to cap "Mother."
