George W. Bush: Spawn of Satan?

Yesterday I posted the photo of George Bush making what some have called the devils hand sign during a memorial for victims of September 11. Now I come across this photo of Bush making the same sign while meeting the Queen of England!

Now some have said that this sign is merely the "hook 'em horns" of the Texas Longhorns. But why would the President of the United States flash a football sign at a 911 memorial or when meeting the queen?


For more on the history of the "hook 'em horns" sign see 50 years of 'Hook 'em Horns'

But as this article points out:

Nowotny had reason for concern; in some parts of Europe, it's used to insinuate that a man's wife is being unfaithful to him. It's also viewed as a salute to the devil in some Scandinavian countries and is part of the American Sign Language word for "bullshit."
Also it appears that this sign has been made by a number of people who one would not think were big fans of the Texas Longhorn.


Perhaps we should have listened to Hugo Chavez at the UN:

"The devil is right at home. The devil, the devil himself, is right in the house.

And the devil came here yesterday. Yesterday the devil came here. Right here." [crosses himself] "And it smells of sulfur still today."

Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the president of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world. Truly. As the owner of the world."
