May 25, 2006 -- DIXIE Chick Emily Robison has apologized to the women of "The View" for dissing them in Time magazine.
"View" co-host Meredith Vieira read Robison's mea culpa at the top of yesterday's show.
"I wanted to write you directly to apologize for my comment in Time magazine. I attempted to explain how much we respect maverick artists like Bruce Springsteen," Robison wrote. "My intention was not to insult 'The View,' and at the time, I was truly just pulling a name out of the air."
The comment infuriated the show's co-hosts, since "The View" gave The Dixie Chicks their big break in 1998. On Tuesday's show, Joy Behar tore the Time magazine article to shreds.

This from the girls who sang about "mattress dancing" on a "sin wagon".
To paraphrase a really great southern band, "A southern man don't need them around, anyhow!"
***** Who?
Yes, and we all know that their apologies really mean a lot.
These women really suffer from an acute case of "foot in cake-hole disease".
I knew it! While the "eating crow" part is nice, the NYPost left out the important part of the "apology" email.
Robison wrote the email for a different reason. She said she wanted to make it abundantly clear that it was not the fat-leaderchick-whose-name-must-not-be-uttered that made the remark! It was important that *she,* Robison, take the heat for it, so people wouldn't be mad at she-who-must-not-be-named.
Bleeccch.
I always liked the Chicks, and thought {both verbs in the past tense} they were a fun group. Now it's almost as much fun watching them try to keep their career alive.
FREE Advice for the Dixie Chicks -- Stop Talking! Just Stop! Sing Songs and Stop Talking. If nothing else works, try Duct Tape.
Had they not been so open, I might have spent my money on their various works and products and thereby would have supported them and their causes. Instead, I've been forewarned and have saved myself a lot of money and future heartaches and problems.
It's funny what barbers look at or listen to. Years ago, at my last command, the on base barber listened to IMUS. I had to endure that crap while getting my hair cut.
The Chix started losing it when their song "Goodbye Earle" was taken seriously by the feminazis. FatChick had originally stated that is was just a silly song, but soon after it was embraced by the victim-advocates, she started talking about how the song would help to advance the cause of violence against women.
Don't you just love to watch scumbags swing in the wind?
Attacking the View? That's SURE to cost them tens of fans.
Yesterday, and Tomorrow, the Chick will eat crow.
Forget about one and never, never, never watch the other.
Too late, tweeties.

Didn't you mean Imus is such an old pimp.
I revel in the dixie chick's slide into obscurity.
My heavenly days! They have been on GMA every single day this week - and now, they just did a promo with them - they're going to be on it again today - and then do a "concert" tomorrow!
That does it. This mass coverage is offensive to me. I am ashamed to be from the same state as these horrors!

Well, that ought to get the man-hating butches of the View's audience excited.
