Let's see... stupid comment begets bad advice from promoters on fake "apology," begets this stupid blitz with whining, which begets this extremely ill-advised photo. Looks like they've decided to dump "country" once and for all.

You're so right. Which is it - are they "apologizing" in the Diane Sawyer interview, or are they "taking on their critics" as stated on the magazine cover?

Looks to me like they're taking the Clinton approach - just throw out any excuse and see what sticks. Despicable.

They might have still had a chance if the picture was taken in the back of a pickup truck with a grinning Bill Clinton. Or is that leering?
