It's been more than three years since the Dixie Chicks sparked a media firestorm by announcing they were "ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas." Now, the embattled country stars are reigniting the blaze with a highly controversial documentary featuring lead singer Natalie Maines calling President Bush a "dumb f---."
According to Entertainment Weekly, one memorable scene from "Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing" shows the singers watching a news report on President Bush's reaction to their infamous on-stage comment. In the report, Bush says ''the Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind,'' 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 then repeats the president's comment and says, ''What a dumb f---.'' She then looks into the camera, as if addressing Bush himself, and reiterates, ''You're a dumb f---.''
The documentary, directed by two-time Academy Award-winning Barbara Kopple, travels with the Chicks, from their peak of popularity as the national anthem-singing darlings of country music and top-selling female recording artists of all time, through the now infamous anti-Bush comment, and on through the days, months and years of mayhem. The film is set to premiere tonight at the Toronto International Film Festival, where for some odd reason (possibly that our neighbors to the north aren't exactly fans of our nation's leader), it's expected to be a huge hit.
"shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because some people don't want to buy their records when they speak out."
LOL
Please don't insult trailer park people....
If it's publicity these people want, why don't they go on the "Oprah" show and defecate in public?
That ought to get them all the attention they deserve.
Oh really?
Hard to believe...
Where would one go to verify that?
I am one of those rare(?) people who has never heard a single "chicks" song (that I know of).
I'm sure Olbermann would love the ratings boost.
In between frequent trips to the buffet table, it appears Maines can't wrap her mind around this relatively straightforward concept.
Ummmm.
I believe that the First Rapist actually managed to do that more recently...
yeah I forgot for a moment about Clinton. And believe me I try every day to forget about him! (But he...just...won't...go...away!) I think I meant to type
"other than Clinton no Dem has won two terms...since FDR)
Now all these other talk-show hosts with attention-deficit disorders, are going, "Uuuh, uuuh, I should have thought of that first."
I know you would realize what you wrote so I didn't bother typing. Too tired today.
"I sincerely want Natalie to just keep on talking. She's a free, walking advertisement to vote GOP."
She seems like another Jerry Springer Democrat.
"In the report, Bush says 'the Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind,' adding, 'they shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because some people don't want to buy their records when they speak out.

She then looks into the camera, as if addressing Bush himself, and reiterates, 'You're a dumb f---.'"
Natalie Maines doesn't have an answer to what President Bush said, so she calles him names. And Bush is supposed to be the dumb one.
Using Ms. Maines superb debating skills, Natalie is not only a dumb c---, but she's also a pork beast and a communist.
Natalie reminds me of that old saying 'doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result' definition of insanity.
Well, doesn't Natalie Maines's extensive vocabulary prove her point?
Sounds like great cinematography to me; right up there with "Citizen Kane."
Now... i bet if a make a movie..ohhhh i dont know... lets say....depicting the assiasination of natalie maines..... i would be charged with a felony threat.
The Dixie Chicks couldn't muster enough ticket sells recently so, they say, It's Bush's Fault.
Just like democrats, blame some one else for self made mistakes.
Of course, libs ALWAYS stoop to calling people dumb, or Nazis, when they can't think of anything else intelligent to say...
Which is pretty much most of the time...
