Give Them the Hook

Today's "Yeas & Nays" in the Examiner featured a story about Jenna Bush's appearance at yesterday's United Jewish Committee's "Washington 15" conference. She discussed her recent book Ana's Story which describes the life of a 17 year old HIV positive girl from Panama. She also showed a video she narrated about the experiences of children growing up in the developing world.

So far, so good. However, at the end of her presentation, according to Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin, "a couple of fellow University of Texas alums shouted "Hook 'em horns!" as Jenna finished, as they flashed the universal sign of the Longhorns."

What? Are you kidding me? These fools tried to turn a talk about AIDS into a pep rally? That would be like Georgetown students yelling "Hoya Saxa!" after President Clinton gives a talk about the genocide in Darfur. What's wrong with these people?

Whatever, I have the Longhorns losing to Stanford in my bracket, anyhow.
