The Dixie Chicks aren't the only Texas natives bashing President George W. Bush.
Sandy Duncan who is performing in South Carolina, told a local paper that she questioned the decision to go to war, and wishes that rather than President Bush, the United States had a leader who was 'globally aware' and 'really smart.'
'I just wish men would quit thinking they could just duke it out with each other,' the native of Henderson, Texas, told the Times and Democrat.
'I don't have all of the facts, and who knows what's really the truth, but I really don't respect [President Bush's] way of dealing with this situation.
It would be great to have someone really, really smart in that office, and someone who is globally aware.'

Translation: "I don't know what I'm talking about but I just can't help myself and just have to say something stupid."
But judging from the replies on this thread, is the media scraping the bottom of the barrel to find celebs to say bad stuff about the president? - are they getting desperate?
This is a great observation, and well made!!! Thanks...
NO, I DIDN'T! But then that tells you alot right there. She doesn't even rate a picture on the wall of a restaurant or diner in her own home town. By contrast Pat Boone, even as off-putting as he is, has a whole wall in one place, and I think he only went to school here.
So who are these celebrities? What is their education? What is their experience in affairs of State or in National Security? While I will defend to the death their right to express their opinions, I think that if they are going to call into question the intelligence of our leaders, we should also have all the facts on their educations and background: Barbra Streisand : Completed high school Career: Singing and acting

These celebrities have no intelligence-gathering agents, no fact-finding groups, no insight into the minds of those who would destroy our country. They only have a deep seated hatred for all things Republican.
By nature, and no one knows quite why, the Hollywood elitists detest Conservative views and anything that supports or uplifts the United States of America.
The silence was deafening from the Left when Bill Clinton bombed a pharmaceutical factory outside of Khartoum, or when he attacked the Bosnian Serbs in 1995 and 1999. He bombed Serbia itself to get Slobodan Milosevic out of Kosovo, and not a single peace rally was held. When our Rangers were ambushed in Somalia and 18 young American lives were lost, not a peep was heard from Hollywood.
Yet now, after our nation has been attacked on its own soil, after 3,000 Americans were killed, by freedom-hating terrorists, while going about their routine lives, they want to hold rallies against the war.
Why the sudden change? Because an honest, God-fearing Republican sits in the White House.
Sorry, I can't make any sense of that phrase.
It's been around for years:
Of course, with today's digital technology, it ought to be possible to have the screen splatter with blood when the channel is changed.
