'To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the Presdient, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.'

President Theodore Roosevelt

Not much of a fighting back gesture, Natalie...hiding behind a child

[EaglesUpForever]

Let's dig up some quotes about how we are supposed to speak of the President DURING WARTIME.

hold muh career hostage alert! (by her own hand)

Toast always lands butter side down.

Stepping in it once just wasn't enough...she's back for more.

Did the other two chicklets ever issue a statment...like maybe suggesting that Maines had PMS when she spoke?

[ewing]

This ditz is determined to kill her career!

She is getting terrible advise from Sony and her managers (or she just isn't taking it)

"To give aid & comfort to the enemy during wartime is treason. Consider yourself relegated to the ranks of has-been".

Flailing around like that Natalie only makes you sink quicker.

Unless you strap it on the back of a cat - then the combination just hovers and spins about three inches off the ground.

Why do people care so much about what some musician has to say?

[July 4th]

She can say whatever she wants, including what she said in London. However, free speech isn't "free." You must not only defend your right, but must be prepared to face the consequences of your speech. Just because she can say what she pleases doesn't mean we can't call her on it.

[Cboldt]

Whadda ditz. Nobody has asserted she was not talking within her rights. She's free and encouraged to speak her mind. Although, as she is learning, sometimes free expression is bad for business.

[Maceman]

She has the right to say whatever she wants and we have the right not to buy her records and attend her concerts, and to make our disapproval known to the radio stations that play her music.

If she doesn't like it, then perhaps she should live in some country where people don't have the right to express their outrage at the idiocy of the wealthy elite.

[trebb]

Kinda gets a tune humming in the back of my head - something by Joan Baez that talks about "The night they tore those Dixie Chicks down" or something of the sorts

[uncitizen]

Oooh her people have been digging in "Websters Notable Quotes".

[ewing]

One of the husbands of the Dixie Chicks sisters said that she doesn't agree with what Natalie said.

[grumple]

foot-in-mouth syndrome...anyone got a graphic? She's already gone beyond the proverbial "head up the ass" graphic that floats around
