[Licensed-To-Carry]

Statement from Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks March 14, 2003

"As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I feel that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect. We are currently in Europe and witnessing a huge anti-American sentiment as a result of the perceived rush to war. While war may remain a viable option, as a mother, I just want to see every possible alternative exhausted before children and American soldiers' lives are lost. I love my country. I am a proud American."

Peer pressure...yeah that's the ticket!

[truthkeeper]

Oh please...

[small voice in the wilderness]

Too late, natalie. Buh-bye Frenchie Chicks.

[ProudArmyWife]

A dollar short and a minute too late.

[TomServo]

I feel...

There she goes again. Sooowee! Pig! Pig!

[cynicom]

Too late stupid person.

[truthkeeper]

Just drips with sincerity, doesn't it?

[ProudGOP]

This might have worked if she had said it immediately after the incident but her other non-apology apology pretty much ruined it. (Shades of Trent Lott)

Its too late. The damage has been done.

I hope the cheap standing O was worth it.

"as a result of the perceived rush to war"

Saddam's Spice Girls still don't get it!

We are currently in Europe and witnessing a huge anti-American sentiment as a result of the perceived rush to war.

So come home, we are experiencing huge anti-French and German sentiment here, because their efforts to prevent this country from protecting our citizens and freeing the poor suffering people of Iraq. Your apology is not enough.

"We are currently in Europe and witnessing a huge anti-American sentiment as a result of the perceived rush to war. "

So, rather than ignore or try to combat it, you chose to join it. How very heroic of you. Hope you your suffer many cancellations of concert tickets and never sell another record again.

I don't know anything about the Dixie Chicks and from what I've read, I'm lucky. Stupid is as stupid does.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

WAY too Late.

I can't even look at the Dixie Chickens. Banned from my Eyes.

[cynicom]

Typical socialist, hit them in the pocketbook and they no longer have the courage of their convictions. Money talks.

[Redcloak]

Still too little, still too late.

[ProudArmyWife]

Sticks a pitchfork in her.... shes DONE!

[brewcrew]

Even my eleven year old is starting to get better at the "engage the brain before engaging the mouth" mantra. Some adults haven't learned this yet.

Natalie, I'm ashamed that I just bought your latest CD a couple of weeks ago.

[JmyBryan]

Actually, IMHO it is nice to see someone recognize their error publicly. Whether it is genuine regret or not remains to be seen. Being optimistic, I always give the benefit of the doubt.

Did Mike Farrell write this for her?
