As a born Texan by the grace of god, it is come to my attention that the Dixie Chicks have issued a Bill Clinton like apology tonight refusing to address the lead singers commments of her being 'ashamed' th have Dubya as her President.

Perhaps a tea party avoiding Lipton products (the sponsor of their tour will get their attention.

If you will write a letter to the owners of Lipton Tea paul.wood@unilever.com and nancy.goldfarb@unilever.com

Here's mine:

I understand that one of your subsidiaries, Lipton, sponsors the Dixie Chicks.

I want you to know how distressed my family and I were to hear the terrible comments made by them while playing a concert in the UK recently. They apparently think so little of our President that they will criticize him publicly, saying they are "ashamed" of him.

I want you to know that my family and I are NOT ashamed of our President. In fact, we are proud of him and stand foursquare behind him as he attempts to execute his solemn duty under the Constitution, to defend our land.

I am, rather, embarrassed and ashamed of the Dixie Chicks. I do not think there was any reason for them to make these statements publicly, no matter what their private opinions might be.

Although they have a right to them, my family and I also have the right to disassociate ourselves from them, from any of their products, and from the products of their sponsors.

Therefore, we will for the indeterminate future NOT be buying any products from Lipton, including beverages, soft drinks, or anything else that Lipton produces. We will also attempt to make sure we don't buy anything from Unilever.

This might be a small thing to you but to us it is quite serious. We are Texans as well as they, and mortified at their terribly disrespectful comments as our nation hovers on the brink of war.

Thank you for your attention to our complaint.

Sincerely,

I would say, screw 'em, but that might make them happy.

Why do all the celebs wait until there out of the country to spew their hate? Are they that spineless?

[prairiebreeze]

I wonder if these girls ever heard the name Jane Fonda or what her rash actions and words cost her?

I could not "send" any emails to any of the addresses. I don't know if their server is overloaded or what. I will try again tomorrow.

[Blue Collar Christian]

I really likED their music. I'm really bummed.

Now I can't decide whether to do the E-bay thing or ... PULL!

I don't drink tea, but I'll buy a new padlock. Anybody got some Ingun makeup?

I hope as a result of these recent celebrity statements that companies start putting in contract clauses allowing the company to recover damages if the star steps in it after the deal is struck.

Lipton might just be a victim of circumstances here, more so than MCI in their debacle since Glover was a known quantity before MCI inked the deal. Still, Lipton needs to jettison this baggage now or at least make amends by also promoting Darryl Worley.

Anyway, yes, a star has free speech rights. But when the act of exercising that right tanks a multi-million dollar advertising campaign, there ought to be consequences back to the star.

Have the chicks been in Europe for a realllll long time? Are they (or their managers) not aware of what has been happening with Sheen and Garafilo? Them there girls just don't know what they did, do they?

[Brimack34]

Why an apology too Bill Clintoon for ripping President Bush. Why would they not say they were sorry too Bush himself.
