Apology from Natalie Maines
As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I now realize that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect.
I hope everyone understands, I'm just a young girl who grew up in Texas. As far back as I can remember, I heard people say they were ashamed of President Clinton. I saw bumper stickers calling him everything from a pothead to a murderer. I heard people on the radio and tv like Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott bad mouthing the President and ridiculing his wife and daughter at every opportunity.
I heard LOTS of people disrespecting the President. So I guess I just assumed it was acceptable behavior.
But now, thanks to the thousands of angry people who want radio stations to boycott our music because criticizing the President is unpatriotic, I realize it's wrong to have a liberal opinion if you're a country music artist. I guess I should have thought about that before deciding to play music that attracts hypocritical red necks.
I also realize now that I'm supposed to just sing and look cute so our fans won't have anything to upset them while they're cheating on their wives or getting in drunken bar fights or driving around in their pickup trucks shooting highway signs and small animals.
And most important of all, I realize that it's wrong for a celebrity to voice a political opinion, unless they're Charlie Daniels, Clint Black, Merle Haggard, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, Ricky Skaggs, Travis Tritt, Hank Williams Jr, Billy Ray Cyrus, Crystal Gayle, Reba McEntire, Lorrie Morgan, Mike Oldfield, Ted Nugent, Wayne Newton, Dick Clark, Jay Leno, Drew Carey, Dixie Carter, Victoria Jackson, Melissa Gilbert, Charleton Heston, Tony Danza, Robert Stack, Fred Thompson, Ben Stein, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Bo Derek, Rick Schroeder, George Will, Pat Buchanan, Bill O'Reilly, Joe Rogan, Delta Burke, Robert Conrad or Jesse Ventura.
God Bless America, Natalie

Natalie just showed herself to be the immature creature that we've always suspected that she was.
Apology accepted. We wish you the best of luck - finding work as a waitress at a Denny's (blue zone location, of course)...
No, you're a stupid, uninformed ostrich with recto-cranial inversion syndrome.
LOL, very good, I could actually hear her saying it.
A Clinton "apology"!
This mensa candidate can't grasp the difference between criticizing a lecher and liar during peacetime and doing the same to a sitting president on the eve of war, after almost 3000 of her fellow citizens have been murdered.
Third grade rocket science...
