Bush as American Jelcin

Every time when I see Bush He reminds me more and more on former Russian president Jelcin only with slight differences.
As a president Jelcin used to do stupid things when he was drunk, Bush does not need alcohol to be stupid.
In his idiotic stupidity Jelcin harmed his own people and country, But the clown Bush is much more serious he harms the whole world.
People used to be amused and to laugh at Jelcin’s circus performances, today people all around the world laugh less and less, Bush’s stupidity is becoming deadly business for the whole world.

In his latest presidential inauguration speech in front of White house president Bush saluted Satan while he was talking about “Real Christian values in the American society�?

Look, I'm the first one to point at Bush and his supporters and declare "evil moron!" but that wasn't some heavy metal satanic hand gesture.

I keep forgetting that while foreigners are far more familiar with our culture than I am with theirs, you guys still have a few gaps. That sign is called the "hook 'em horns" and is part of some football cheer from some Texas university. Although it has a specific meaning, most Texans use it to mean "Lookit me! I'm a Texan!"

Bush needs to constantly reinforce the generalized meaning because the truth is pretty far from the reality. He is a rich boy from Connecticut who spent his childhood in the most elite private schools in the country. The "hook 'em horns" thing is a flaccid attempt to buy "cowboy cred" from the gullible.

Yeltsin?

Marching Folly

Yeah, that's UT and lots of football fans do that in TX. It's quite normal (assuming for the purpose of this post that one is dumb enough to be a UT fan :rolling: ).

Yes surely he means Yeltsin. I've never heard of this other guy, Jelsin. Perhaps I slept in the morning he was in power.

I thought it was some kind of american ghetto sign, I mean emnem does it and not only is he not texan but he never went anywhere near university. You also see lots of gangsta wrappers do it. Might it be that Texans just thought it would be cool to copy some rapper.

1. Yeltsin is an Anglo-Saxon version of original Russian name Jelcin.
Similar is with word: “Czar�? original Russian “Car�? which means emparor.
When cultured people use, for them foreign names, they have respect for the country of origin.
Of course it can not the case with , at the present, the most arrogant , ignorant and aggressive people in the world ( The whole world knows who they are ).

2. But the above is not an issue. The real issue is who is going to prevent this arrogant, primitive and aggressive cowboy in his stupid hypocritical Christian mission to destroy the world???

3. It's a satanic salute, that means the same on both case, meaning they're into Satanism, the religion of the mob. And all his family too, all those who salute know what it means.

1. To anyone who listens to rock n' roll, it means "rock the mullet".

2. To any University of Texas football fan (team name: Longhorns), it means "hook 'em Horns".

3. To Italians, it means "your wife is sleeping with someone else", and is apparently some sort of insult. :huh:

While it may be satanic to you, it is a gesture that means something good to many Americans and unintentionally insults one of our allies in the War on Terror.

Nope, what Dubya flashed is the UT Longhorns salute - and it's been around longer than rappers have....much to my chagrin.

sorry if I were a journalist I would be using the original spelling, since not being anglo-saxon I have less trouble with difficult pronunciations. I see what you are saying Jelcin was also rather cowboyish in his do-and-dare attitude. Bush seems a little more demure but has the same streak.
