She does look cute in a couple of those pictures. I think she is one of those people who is short and gains weight very easily.

[DBtoo]

Both of the tall girls look funny to me too. I keep looking at their faces and trying to figure out what doesn't look right. Maybe it's the eye-makeup, I don't know. They do have funny eyes that seem close together and long faces. That's why I wondered if they are sisters.

[Bonaparte]

Yes, they're sisters.

[Bonaparte]

"...short and gains weight very easily."

Nobody on this forum is going to argue with that.

[Bonaparte]

You're right. Next time I see her, I'll toss a truffle on the floor and see what happens.

[Samwise]

Well, Hillary says "You get used to being booed."

[Bonaparte]

I wonder if she's gotten used to having toilet seats thrown at her. Maybe next time, she'll be ready to return fire with her ashtrays.

[Fledermaus]

But the brown haired one looks retarded.

[Fledermaus]

My favorite whine is "censorship" as in Bruce Springstein's comments on the issue (I've always hated him).

So I tried to figure this out. If I DON'T buy their CD's, I'm censoring them?

Then lock me up and throw away the key.

Right now, I'm NOT watching TV and thus censoring 82 of by cable channels. I'm NOT listening to the radio and thus censoring hundreds of them in my area. I'm NOT reading and thus censoring every newspaper and magazine in print. I'm NOT watching video, DVD or listening to CD's. I'm NOT surfing the web...god knows how many websites I'm censoring as I speak.

And half the voting population think morons like these (Gore also made the censorship remark - he should know from the lack of sales of his last two books) think they are the best to protect our rights and freedoms?

hehe ! :O)

Kate Winslet showed a much healthier attitude when she criticized them retouching her photo for a magazine cover.

http://www.hellomagazine.com/2003/01/10/katewinslet/

"Meanwhile, the magazine's editor, Dylan Jones, while admitting that the photos had been doctored, claims that Kate has actually lost a great deal of weight recently. "These pictures are not a million miles away from what she really looks like," he says. "Kate is currently thinner than I have ever seen her, petite and sexy."

Ms Winslet herself, however, doesn't seem to share his opinion. "The retouching is excessive. I do not look like that and more importantly I don't desire to look like that," she said. "I actually have a Polaroid that the photographer gave me on the day of the shoot… I can tell you they've reduced the size of my legs by about a third. For my money it looks pretty good the way it was taken."

[Samwise]

Please turn that into a letter to O'Reilly. It's pithy.

The fowl-mouthed hens must be of the chantecler breed.

[Samwise]

I had to look that up. LOL

"A friendly animal, the Chantecler is generally rather quiet and well mannered. They are highly valued for their breast and thigh meat, which is of the highest quality. Chantecler chicks are capable of growing very quickly on very low food intake. When grown, they can lay as many as 200 eggs per year. The Chantecler is well suited to cooler climates. The Chantecler is a friendly, reliable animal that is not only an excellent meat bird and laying bird, but also a beautiful show bird."

But I don't think they are quiet and well mannered. They like cooler climates. How about Siberia?

[Consort]

But they originated in Canada.

Thank You!

Is this Natalie Maines' REAL body?
Yes.	5%
No	12%
No bleeping way!	84%

[Arpege92]

I think they are sisters but the one with the dark hair just doesn't look right. She sort of reminds of those people who live in the mountains and play banjo's.

[Bonaparte]

"...looks retarded."

Both of them have hitched their wagon to Fat Nat. What does that say about their mental capacity?

[DitzyDeltaDawn]

I watched our local Memphis ABC 24 News after the interview, which I DID NOT watch. Maines said and I quote "I'm ASHAMED OF OUR FANS".

What fans do they have to be ashamed of at this point? I could have sworn over the past month and a half the Dixie Chicks lost a large portion of their fanbase.

[ThomasMore]

Foolish move but predictable!

Dixie who?

Most country fans have fostered Chick-amnesia.
