Of cOurse. Natalie has yet to make an appearance in publice that some liberal wasn't hter holding her hand the entire time. Shes a coward.
What many peope do not know, and the chicks have done well to hide it, but they were "freinds" w/ GW. When he owned the Rangers, he used to have them come sit with him in his box seats where they ate hotdogs and watched baseball together. When the chicks would sing the national anthem for the game, they would be introduced as "personal freinds" of GW. They even sang at one of his innagurations.
He helped them garner fans on the back of his popularity, to go over seas and sell him out to a crowd that they themselves said was anti-american, to yet again garner more fan at his expense,is unredeemable to me. To me that IS what a tratior is.
I didn't know about the Chicks' friendship with our President. That's too bad.
I don't mind that much of the entertainment industry is anti-Bush. I suppose if I avoided every artist who disliked the President and/or opposed the war, I wouldn't see a movie, go to a concert or buy a CD. Except for a few shrill whiners like Alex Baldwin, Barbara Streisand, et al., most have kept their political views private...or at the very least they don't advertise them every chance they get.
Thing is that unlike most artists, the Chicks trashed their President in public, in an already hostile, anti-American country like our supposed "friend," France. Traitorous conduct? Maybe. Poor judgment, bad taste, ignorance and sheer stupidity? Most definitely Yes.
I don't own any of the Chicks' CDs and have never paid to see them in concert, so they lost me already. I'll just spend my entertainment dollars elsewhere. Probably doesn't upset them, but it makes me feel good.
