Dixie Chicks Try (And Fail) To Rehabilitate Image On ABC PrimeTime Live
ABC News Prime Time Live ^ | 24 April 2003 | Diane Sawyer

Posted on 04/24/2003 8:23:14 PM PDT by pttttt

See http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/primetime/Entertainment/dixiechicks030423.html for text of the interview.

It was Clinton-like in its patronizing dishonesty and incredible narcissism.

In so many words: "We said we 'support the troops' (code for "we just hope they get defeated", but we'll pass over that because it's bad for record sales) - why are all these extremists unfairly picking on us?"

This ought to rank up there with Connie Chung's interview of Gary Condit as a rehabilitation attempt which backfired. They came across as really loathesome.

Amazing, isn't it? A suck up interviewer, coached interviewees and they still manage to blow it. Short the parent company stock, quick!

Their crying was as authentic as Slick's at Ron Brown's funeral.

I saw better acting in my first grade's Christmas Show.

When I saw the pig Chick start crying, I thought someone had stolen her Double Whopper.

Well, actually, I wish I had tuned in for just THAT PART.

Why is no one pointing out that Natalie Maines had a body double here?

Her, uhm girth is significantly about twice as wide as what we see here.

I watched as much of it as I could stomach. They didn't seem to understand why people were outraged at what they said, and they came across as really uninformed as to what the war was about. (Almost as dumb as Susan Sarandon saying, "What did Iraq ever do to us?" but not quite.)

Diane Sawyer hit the nail on the head when she asked them if they thought their conservative country music fans didn't like them talking like Hollywood liberals. But it seemed to go right over their heads. Like all celebrities, they seem be confused and think "freedom of speech" means we have to keep liking them, buying their albums, attending their concerts, etc. regardless of what garbage they spout.

Yep, but Natalie LIKES herself - she said so!!

I heard that.

I also heard the brunette say "Our affection for each other goes beyond sisterhood." What was that about?

They wear each other's underwear, or is it more than that?

OK
I read the transcript a few days ago.Did they actually air Mange's lame attempt to rope in PFC Lynch's family's "possible" attitude about them,in their ABC TV interview?

Oh it's been discussed over and over again on FR today. It is clearly not Maines.

If they learn nothing else from this, they will learn that Nashvile ain't Hollywood. There is no room in Nashville for this type of behavior. If their career rebounds, it will be with the help with the liberal Hollywood crowd.

See now, your high school teacher was right: chicken is the dumbest animal! And a bleached blond chicken without a neck is dumbest among chickens! (OK, the high school teacher didn't really say that, but she might have if she herself had been a little smarter.)

Computer wizardy fascinates me. Maines' "body" looks more like mine than hers.

It just shows that they are scared out of their minds of what's going to happen when they start up the US tour.

I won't watch this, but I have read enough to know they are playing to the lefties out there. They are the victims now. They are not the least bit sorry for what they said, they are just upset that sales are down! I hope they drop even more after this self serving white wash, and that ridiculous nude cover with the slogans all over them!

Sawyer made the comment that Maines worried the Lynch family would think she didn't support their daughter.
