It is unfair to Tokyo Rose to compare these brainless little turds to her. Tokyo Rose was in Japan visiting family when Pearl Harbor was bombed.

She resisted demands for months to act as an enemy propoganda mouthpiece. It was nearly two years later after constant pressure and when she learned that California Attorney General Earl Warren had sent her family to relocation camps that she finally gave in and did her first broadcast.

She had gone to Japan on a mission of mercy to visit an ailing relative. She came home and was charged with treason. One of the few good things Gerald Ford did was to pardon her.

The Ditzy Chicks volunteered to be enemy mouthpieces and were never charged with anything. They aren't fit to wipe Tokyo Rose's butt.

From your Tokyo Rose link: D'Aquino appealed her case to the public on the television program 60 Minutes, and was pardoned by outgoing President of the United States Gerald Ford on January 19, 1977.

60 Minutes is a Tokyo Rose broadcast.
