The next time you see chimp doing his Longhorn sign...
Think of this and it will make you giggle..


Austin, where Univ of TX is, hates him...the county in which Austin is, went BLUE..there are people who are trying to get Rush Limbaugh OFF the air down there since he is not welcome on their blue county airwaves.
I read elsewhere on DU that the locals get really really pissed off when the State legislators are in session cuz it brings all the typical TX repukes into an otherwise wonderfully liberal town. They are very happy this only happens every TWO years,
The Daily Texan...UT's newspaper..endorsed Kerry and NOT CHIMP! An entry in their online school blog had the following subject heading right after Black Tuesday: "I voted for the donkey but the jackass won".

http://www.dailytexanonline.com/news/2004/11/02/Opinion/Election.2004.Endorsements-789782.shtml

<heh, heh> It was also the UT Law School that REJECTED his sorry ass back when he applied their decades ago.

There were reports that there were more kids in line in a SINGLE day on campus during early voting then there were in the ENTIRE 2000 election...no doubt these kids played a big part in their county going BLUE.

So chimphead can go around and make his little hand gesture..just remember that the people at UT and their local community, are also making a hand gesture BACK to him...and it ain't a TWO finger gesture!

4. Hell ya!
I lived there, and the Right is much hated in Austin proper, the suburbs, not so much, but still a liberal stronghold in a very Red State.

Makes me sick to see him give the Horns!

6. In Norway, the 'Horns sign stands for Satanic worship
I imagine the photos freaked a bunch of Norwegians out (and probably garnered a few "WTF?!!" among the heavy metal set).

7. Right on!
I'm an Austin resident and you couldn't be more right. On inauguration day there was a huge protest on Congress Ave. bridge -- the whole six lane bridge was blocked off. I was so proud to be an Austinite! The precinct I live in went 70 percent for Kerry. Please don't forget this, all you Texas haters! The repukes DO NOT own this great state!

8. Sending my kid to UT in the Fall
Getting her OUT of N Texas and into a saner part of the state!!!

Dumbya can get away with making his gesture cuz people outside TX think "hey, it's Texas, they love him there" and, after all, he was gov so Austin, being he was there for 6 yrs, really must like him!!
HAH! If they only knew...it's just another of his smoke and mirror tricks tricks. There is a reason that Laura Bush said that they were thinking about moving to Dallas post-regime. They plan on settling in
Highland Park, no doubt. Newsflash, George and Laura...you guys are soon to be outnumbered here, as well...Dallas County went 49% blue!!
I feel bad for you Austinites cuz whenever they show protest pix in our Dallas Whoring News, it is always the pro repuke, etc... rally people. This weekend they showed anti choice people marching with a banner. Funny how they never seem to get a pic of the rest of you <the majority> down there.

11. I think he secretly hates UT ... they refused him admission, didn't they?
Said his grades weren't good enough. And we know how Dubya nurses a grudge. After he took office as Governor, he brought up the rejection in a speech, then threatened them with budget cuts. What a piece of work!
