NEW YORK (CNN) -- Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines was singing a new tune late Friday, this time in the form of an apology to President Bush for saying she was ashamed that he was from Texas.

"As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I feel that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect," Maines said in her latest statement.

Your pretty big into ad hominem attacks, aren't cha?

If by that you meand do I butt in and put my big mouth into use accusing others of attacking somebody who hasn't attacked or said anything to them,the answer is "No". Now it's YOUR turn to answer the question.

Sorry, had to leave and just saw your reply tonight. And I can see that you don't know what the term means. Ad hominem attacks= attacking the person's character instead of debating the issue. You do alot of that... Charleton Heston is a "senile, old fool", Rosie O'Donnell on another thread was a "vapid cow". I'm no Rosie fan but comments like these makes your arguments less credible and just makes you sound strident and shrill.

Natalie must have heard all of the people who said they would not buy the Dixie Chicks music anymore. I doubt she was sincere, but at least she apologized. That is more than the rest of the so called celebs have done.
