They became infamous in March of 2003 when their leader, Natalie Maines, stated in an overseas concert that she was embarrassed to be a native of Texas because of President Bush's decision to invade Iraq.

That's a bit of a soft-peddle of what she said. She didn't say she was embarrassed to be from Texas, she said "just so you know, we are ashamed that the President is from the state of Texas."

She was speaking for herself and the other girls in the band, but the way she said it to belittle the President on foreign soil was cowardly and stupid.

Seems there is a whole bunch of 'artists' (both music and film) that really get the STUPIDs, and run their mouth when overseas. Some of which surprised me.
