If there was an once of brains between them they would say, " What we said was stupid and we wish we never said it. We beg the forgiveness of the President and our Fans, God Bless America." Then shut their stupid mouths. But they keep qualifying everything they say. I'm surprised the hole they have dug hasn't come out in China yet.

'It's not about nakedness, it's about clothes getting in the way of labels.'

Unfortunately, clothes don't get in the way of the label "Fatal Career Move".

"Psuedo Apology"

I like that. Most descriptive.

Her "apology" is rather on a par with Hanoi Jane's apology.

Their bosses are ordering them to say something, and this is as much as they can bring themselves to say.

The top country station in KC (which is still not playing the Chicks' music, BTW) played 9 clips this morning from the interview. The clips chosen weren't very good for the Dixie Chicks' position, and the radio guys called them on it. When Emily stated she had received a death threat, the radio guy said he didn't believe that.

All in all, the clips make it sound like the Chicks are going to play the victim card. Get ready for Jim Bakker flashbacks.

TIME | PEOPLE | FORTUNE | IN STYLE | ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY | MONEY | PARENTING | REAL SIMPLE | TEEN PEOPLE | TIME FOR KIDS | BUSINESS 2.0 | COOKING LIGHT | HEALTH | SOUTHERN ACCENTS | COASTAL LIVING | PROGRESSIVE FARMER | SUNSET

I heard Ms. Maines's statement on the radio this morning. The announcers asked the radio audience, "Do you accept this apology?" Well, I'd accept one if I ever heard one, but they didn't apologize. There was not one time during that interview when Ms. Maines said, "I'm profoundly sorry fow what I said. It was foolish, and I was wrong--I was speaking without being adequately informed, speaking from emotion rather than from a defensible intellectual position founded on careful research and consideration. I beg the forgiveness of Mr. Bush and the American people, whose beloved president I insulted."

I'm not holding my breath. It's very clear that Ms. Maines has not changed her mind at all in her fundamentally ungracious and graceless interview.

Is that cover supposed to help? I dont think they really give a rip about what they said, they just want to get the money flowing again. I think they get too much exposure(no dig intended). They aren't even important to anybody but themselves and their promoters.

Dianne Sawyer this AM on Good Morning America :

'you would have to be in a coma not to like their new album' and other endorsements.

Dianne Sawyer is a creepy and extremely well paid purveyor of cultural soft core smut and other media agendas.

Oh the naked photo is most interesting. They did one for PETA and pulled it because it was too "damaging". Now it's ok to get naked?
