Ah, sorry, the absurdity is contagious. Hey, you know how I found this article? I found it via the Australian blogger Tim Blair. How he found it, I don't have a clue. How he found it, before we did, is amazing.
Here's his post:
The Dixie Chicks are attempting the risky Hillary Gambit:
Are the Dixie Chicks victims of a right-wing conspiracy?
That's what their manager, Simon Renshaw, has told country music stations being pressured to drop the Chicks' music after lead singer Natalie Maines criticized President Bush last week.
In an e-mail to stations distributed by Sony Music, their label, Renshaw says the protest has been orchestrated by Free Republic.
"Your company is being targeted by a radical right-wing online forum," Renshaw says in the e-mail. "You are being 'Freeped,' which is the code word for an organized e-mail/telephone effort attempting to solicit a desired response."
"Freeped" is a code word?
Please, do not reveal, which orchestra was used to orchestrate Freeped Blixie Chicks.
This is riot! I haven't had so much laugh since Martin's Roasts.
