 | Bush's Devil Hand Symbol Shocks European Viewers
Associated Press | January 21, 2005
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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, Norway's largest newspaper,
Verdens Gang, explained to its readers.
