I knew things would start to go really bad from them once the liberals stopped inflating their album sales after the spotlight was off them (like a certain Senator from NY's book will too) and then they would go out with a wimper.An article I posted yesterday backs you up on that regarding their sales, too.

Home had already sold a whopping 6 million albums when Ms. Maines slammed the president and the CD was six months old, which meant a steady sales deterioration would be no surprise. But sales have plummeted, and the disc's latest single is foundering. The fallout for the Chicks has been considerable:
In the three months after the remark, the Grammy-winning Home album went from selling 124,000 copies a week to about 15,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Home had been a Top 10 seller since its August release, so its decline was imminent. But such a precipitous sales drop is a direct result of the controversy over the anti-Bush comment.

It didn't help that Ms. Maines wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the letters F.U.T.K., which was widely interpreted as an expletive toward fellow country artist Toby Keith. Ms. Maines and Mr. Keith have traded barbs since August 2002, when she slammed his patriotic song "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)."
