Dixie Chicks to Split Up After Grammy's? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Jim Roberts Dec 13, 2006

The Dixie Chicks just scored the big trifecta with Grammy nominations. The one-time country band that turned their collective backs on the music genre, its stars and its fans cleaned up with the three majors, Best Album, Song and Record for “Taking the Long Way” and the single, “Not Ready to Make Nice.”

The Chicks were one of eight acts with five nominations each, as it appears that the Grammy's are desperately trying to give the gals some love for their America bashing ways.

Now a report claims that the Chicks may split after the show.

The source is the National Enquirer and the weekly tabloid reports that the controversial country superstars have secretly decided to split up after the Grammy Awards - because Emily Robison and Martie Maguire no longer want to share the nest with outspoken Natalie Maines, say sources.

***

"The Chicks are tired and wrung out," a group insider reportedly told the weekly entertainment magazine. "They feel they've come to the end, and they want a break from each other to spend more time with their families."

The three women, who have seven children among them, are at odds over Natalie's blunt political ramblings. And while sources say sisters Emily and Martie share many of Natalie's anti-George W. Bush views, they feel her public rants have taken the focus off their music.

No denial is printed with the online report. But many speculated that the sisters would dump Maines long ago and that has yet to happen.

That seems to be the trend with Hollywood. They give our awards based on liberal politics instead of talent and product. I remember when they gave some big award to Michael Moore for one of his films, which was a pile of garbage by anyone's objective standards.

And the Grammys have attempted to give the Dixie Sluts a "lift" by giving them the awards regardless of their actual popularity.

Hmmm....That sort of resembles the Hollywood Academy, giving films like Broke Butt Mountain the headlines in hopes of artificially stimulating public interest.

I never did think the Grammys were much to begin with and now I know.....

hitsdailydouble published an articel back on 11/30 staing that a chicks win at the grammys would be a referendum on the Bush administration, that it would allow liberals to granstand, and that their "politics" was what is important.

The thing is, the chicks admitted to never voting in an election before 2004. Thats right...little miss politcal never even saw the inside of a voting booth before Bashing the POTUS. She a fraud.
