Well, the United Center has a 21K person capacity. I couldn't verify the numbers, but I did confirm abundant floor (front stage) seating available at numerous following dates. Per RazorGator there seems to be an awful lot of good seating available for the chicks.

So when the author suggests that the Chicks are seeing benefit from their idiot remarks, I can hardly see it unless they're looking for some elbow room at their concerts.

Sure - there's lots of places they could sit.

Yeah, when the 'incident' happened the Chicks were on a tour for a top-selling album. They have not seen those type of sales since. A real dividend.

Only in America can someone make a living off of Bush hatred.

If the Twits are seeing such a huge benefit from their "humor", why did they end up cancelling 14 cities on their tour??

Manipulating facts is nasty business, but nothing unusual for the Chicago Trib.

The irony is this puff article designed exclusively to make people think they are fdoing better than they are will actually hurt them long term. So they have left country all together. New genre completely. New audience--well supported.

Pretty soon the only station playing them will be Air Armeria (wherever they are still on the air).

When you are in a hole---stop digging.

The chicks still havent figured that out. Either that or they feel they have made enough money to last them a lifetime and dopnt need any more.

I was going to sy the music played was "Hail to the Sheit"

The 'incident' began in 2003 and it has continued up to the present. The chits seem obsessed with our President.

The "Chicks" could change their name from "Dixie Chicks" to "Chicago Hos."

Actually, they're not doing so well in America. They're mainly touring in Canada.

Their trying to put the best face on the huge hole they dug for themselves. They can spin it all they want, but Fat Nat's verbal diarrhea has effectively sunk their careers.
