No, not at all, I was sighing because those Red State W supporters are STILL wearing blinders after all this time.

GIRL!! DO not even get me started on that!!
I am so sick of hearing the Republicans making excuses for him and acting like he is some put upon saint. ARGH! They carry on about how he has been the subject of the worst character assassination in all of history! (anyone remember Clinton??)
I would MUCH rather be talking about a stain on a dress than 3000+ dead Americans in a war for Bush's 'legacy'...or the wiretapping of US citizens without a court order....or the detention of civilians without due process....or covert prisons.....or torture BY our own soldiers....and the list goes on...and on....

Okay, I don't know when they made that comment, but ..
Maybe they were pissed off because hundreds of their 'fans' took to the streets and burned their CDs .. I don't know .. lol...

maybe...but the fans were their customers...they made the choice to stir things up worse rather than try to repair the damage.
Just from a business stand point, you don't set up a franchise to serve a particular audience and then deliberately alienate them...right or wrong their fan base was conservative people living in the south. Highly patriotic, and most voting Republican! I am not gonna fault those people for feeling betrayed. Natalie built up an image and then destroyed it. That was her right absolutely...but it was her choice to do so.
Maybe it is a good thing...their pop music is better than their country was...

I don't think the Dixie Chick care if the country establishment and Clear Chanel communications won't forgive them. I hear complaints of soldiers dying so they can have the right to speak their minds. And I always counter if they kept silent then, did those solders die for nothing?
I like the Dixie Chicks. They are strong women. I admire strong women.
