I'm not usually one to watch Award Shows, but I had to tune into the Country Music Awards show last night. It was quite fun to watch! There were tributes to our troops --- songs, words of support and appearances by some of our recent POWs. I have never seen such patriotism on a celebrity award show! The "cake" was there were several cracks at the expense of the Dixie Chicks. The icing on the cake was that, not only did the Chix not win Entertainer of the Year, but they were roundly "booed" when their name was called as a nominee. The cherry on top was that Toby Keith, "the angry American" who was bashed by the Chix, did win entertainer of the year!!!!!

My apologies if there was already a thread about this. I did a keyword search and found nothing.

There was one posted, but the more, the merrier.

As an aside, I thought Reba McIntyre looked fetching in her black gown.

I heard Maines wore a F.U.T.K. T-shirt at the Vichy Chicks concert that same night. In Austin, not Nashville.

MEEEOOWWW!

Nice Freudian slip!

Where was Toby?

[soccermom]

LOL! This article says she may have had the shirt, but HE wore the pants! She doesn't seem all that apologetic, does she?

[Notforprophet]

That's the article I saw, too.

Mr. Burns: Are they booing me?
Smithers: No, they are saying Boo-urns! Boo-urns!
Mr Burns: Are you saying 'boo' or 'Boo-urns'?
Audience: BOOO!!
Hans Moleman: I was saying Boo-urns.

LOL! Hillary gets booed, Bubba gets booed, that lefty giving the graduation commencement gets booed, and now the Dixie Chicks get booed. Why does the song "What a Wonderful World" keep popping into my head?

The dipsie chicks haven't learned a darn thing. Toby Kieth has been the man for the past 2 years and got hosed out of alot of awards. I am glad to see that he won Entertainer of the year. I really look forward to seeing him tommorow night at the top of the world up here in Fairbanks, Alaska!!

Three Cheers for Toby Keith! I wouldn't watch it once I found out the Chicks were appearing, but wish I had seen them booed, and Toby winning!

Greetings to Fairbanks from Fresno. Have fun at the concert. Yahoo! DOWN WITH THE DITSIE CLUCKS!!

[Saundra Duffy]

I love these posts!!! We stomped the ditsie clucks videos in Fresno and proud of it. I watched the show last night and loved it. Very patriotic. Now THAT'S the way it's supposed to be. Reba was SPECTACULAR!!!!!!

[My2Cents]

Reba's just a great person. I'm not a C/W fan, but most of them come across as normal folk.

Thanks for the search! I was able to retrieve this from the previous thread --
