The Dixie Chicks, Emily Robison, left, Natalie Maines, center, and Martie Maguire, say they are posing nude to make a point.

NEW YORK - The Dixie Chicks appear nude on the cover of a weekly showbiz magazine in a defiant answer to a backlash over their opposition to the war in Iraq.

And this is suppose to help their career?

PIECE? Piece of what?

[pgyanke]

Boy, I'm sure glad they cleared up where we were all wrong about them... How could we have called them sluts?

[Kerberos]

"These gals should pool their brain cells to make some better decisions "

At this point I think that would still make them a few fries short of a happy meal.

I notice they didn't paint on

Blixie Chicks
Vichy Chicks
or Dixie Blitz

The Dixie Chicks Come Clean

If the Dixie Chicks are so clean, why do they want to wear those names as a badge of honor?

When you hit bottom, keep digging. Grand Canyon = Gopher hole. China Tour for Dixie Chits.

[KellyAdmirer]

Looks like some poor photoshop work. What a sign of sheer desperation. Well, sex sells, maybe some clueless fools will fall for this and start buying their records again.

[lainie]

You are right. That's the thing. This whole mess came out of their intrinsic lack of knowledge about their own fan base; and this is one more of those colossal missteps. imo.

"And this is suppose to help their career? "

At this point I'm beginning to think that thier manager has another band in the wings that he thinks is going to be bigger. But his first problem is to get these gals out of the way.

Why Haven't I seen that issue? Gonna have to ask the wife where it is.

[johnb838]

HaHa HaHa. What is it about unattractive women on the left that think there is some benefit to their message resulting from stripping?

This is typical of the left's 40 year out-of-date playbook. But they're victims of their own success. 40 years ago this sort of behavior had the power to shock. Now it just results in yawns and critical discussion of the flesh so presented.

Apparently these women were only playing a game with the country music fans. They share none of their values. They are leftist scum. The truth is out there. Bye-Bye.

Final note: I will never listen to their music, but I must admit I never have listened to it.

Sorry to be dense: when it says "yes, I know it's been retouched" at the bottom of the photo, does it mean it used to spell PEACE and now it's been retouched to spell PIECE, as in piece of ---? LOL. Or maybe these chicks can't spell??? Women like these have a serious problem.

NO "Dixie Bitches" marking??? Now their just not listening,

[dalebert]

I don't call what Natalie said an appology.

>And this is suppose to help their career?

I think it's standard
maketing-type crap -- use a
big demographic

-- like patriotic
Americans -- to start your
career, then "move on"

to so-called main stream
freak-a-zoid demographics,
which are really big.

My guess is the girls
expect to laugh all the way
to the bank. Who knows?

''It's not about the nakedness,'' the Post quotes band member Martie Maguire as saying. ''It's about clothes getting in the way of labels.''

Aren't these the same type of folks that claim pornography is demeaning to women and our culture? It must not be about the nakedness....it must be about the clothes getting in the way of a good mental picture.

[sirshackleton]

I've never understood how posing naked is supposed to be some form of protest. It seems like some kind of last refuge to get attention.

[martin_fierro]

Before this stunt, they almost bared all for PETA

[Only1choice____Freedom]

Oh yea, this boosts their image as critical thinkers and removes the stigma of Dixie Sluts for sure.


Tell me again what degrees they hold?
