The Dixie Chicks are popular because they trade on their "country image"--to their country fans who are the bedrock of this country. As people, I have often doubted that they were truly "country", they seemed too punkish and packaged for the image,in spite of some musical talent.
To me, the cover has finally been blown. They are not country and not true Americans. I didn't hear Natalie Maines speak the same way about Clinton and Iraq or Kososvo--she is just Bush bashing. And she doesn't get it that it is triply bad because she did it overseas in a time of war against the CIC of our troops.
And notice, not a mention about Saddam Hussein--no, in the Dixie Chick world, only the US President is bad.
Now we see that not only is Natalie Maines not sorry for what she said, even in the face of the upset to her loyal fans, she's is proud of it and standing it by it.
She is getting rewarded big time. And no ones deserves it more. I hope the act tanks.
After all, wasn't one of their monster hits a song about killing a man? Yeah, we're non violent aren't we?

The fact that Al Gore came to her rescue, accusing those of us who've been 'bashing' her of Stalinist tactics, indicates they may have already landed a gig singing at the next DemoRat convention.
