"The international press won't get their first look at the documentary Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing until its gala premiere at the Toronto Film Festival tonight. But EW.com got an early look at the sure-to-be-controversial doc in Los Angeles and can attest that the film will continue to bring the (ex?) country trio more plaudits from progressives and further condemnation from conservatives. And if you think singer Natalie Maines had some harsh words for President Bush in public, wait till you hear what she had to say about him behind the scenes.

In one memorable scene, Maines watches news footage of the president being interviewed about the furor that followed the singer's on-stage comment that she was ''ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas,'' which resulted in the group being dropped from most radio stations, as well as protests and plummeting sales. ''The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind,'' Bush told Tom Brokaw at the time, adding, ''They shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because some people don't want to buy their records when they speak out. You know, freedom is a two-way street.''

After watching this footage, Maines repeats the president's comment about how the group shouldn't have their ''feelings hurt,'' incredulous, and then says, ''What a dumb f---.'' She then looks into the camera, as if addressing Bush, and reiterates, ''You're a dumb f---.''..."

Natalie is a bandwagon follower and had she felt the crowd in London that night was anti-tooth fairy, we would all be sitting here blogging about a movie where she calls the tooth fairy a dumb phuc....or not, seeing as she owes her new found notoriety to Bush as nobody reallys gives a rats ass about her and never has. She is a highschool DROP OUT who is trying to be relevent in a world where she couldnt be more irrelevent in.

What about the statement "free speech is a two way street" warrants such outbursts like Natalie exhibits in the film? I mean really, who acts like this? She is the Varuca Salt of our era and if she doesnt get what she wants she throws angry, sometimes, naked tantrums where she not only shouts obsceneites, but writes them on her body. If you saw someone on the street act like this you would cross to the other side and stand their gawking in amazement that they allow such sociopaths to roam freely.

Is she such a mental midget that she blames W for 10 Million people no longer supporting her already over privleged life? If so, she needs to seek professional help and fast!
