America is watching another girl now. PFC Jessica Lynch. Natalie is unimportant.

Natalie Maines isn't worthy enough to lick PFC Lynch's military boots.

I agree that Natalie is unimportant as are her comments. I'd rather we take our frustations out on De Genova, Madonna, Moran and others who have made far, far more offensive comments. They went over the line of free speech.

I defended Johnny Rocker, Trent Lott (whom I don't much liked), the teacher who was forced to apologize for something she didn't even say, and others who have been attacked by the PC supporters. Now I feel obligated to defend the Dixie Chicks (the other two have said nothing) even when I don't agree with them.

Also, I recall once trying to make a joke which came out terrible wrong. In no way did I mean it. I guess that is why I'm not as hard on her.
