Drudge Sirens: TEARS ON TV: DIXIE CHICKS EXPLAIN BUSH BASHING

Drudge Report ^ | 3/24/03 | Drudge

[Revolting cat!]

You have got to be kidding! Did Entertainment Weekly hire Registered to do a parody?

[chainsaw]

MAINES: ….It's not because it's not genuine. It's because I'm on guard now…I feel regret for, you know, the choice of words. Or the non-choice…Am I sorry that I asked questions and that I don't just follow? No.

MAINES: Out of frustration. At that moment, on the eve of war, I had a lot of questions that I felt were unanswered….

we stand by each other through thick and thin and we know we're going to make mistakes…But this was colossal. This felt so colossal.

Maines never got her questions answered so I guess she is still ashamed of our president. I don't feel sorry for either of those brainless twits. They stand by each other and they can go down together. I wonder what they think of our president now. Did they ever say?

When I was a little boy my mother told me that if I couldn't say something nice about someone, not to say anything at all. This should have been something that Maines mother taught her.

my mother told me that if I couldn't say something nice about someone, not to say anything at all. This should have been something that Maines mother taught her.

How do you know it wasn't taught to her?

You forget, liberals do not consider conservatives to be deserving of the same tolerance they demand from us for themselves.

[tuna_battle_slight_return]

I think the real cover will just have them nude, with no words on the skin.

[MaggieMay]

You notice how they are trying to spin this into a, "we are so afraid of rabid conservative's, they are out to KILL us. I think they are much more smitten with their own importance than anyone one else is. Big bad body guards are hired to protect these snotty diva's,and from what I am seeing and hearing I don't think a "Dixie Chick" could evoke interest, much less violence from any conservatives I know.

[lilmsdangrus]

I feel the same way. My husband and I were just about to buy tickets to one of their concerts. Thank the Lord we didn't! I can't even listen to them anymore, I just get disgusted and turn it off. If I feel that way now, there is a reason for it, and it will not "wear off" now that the war is for the most part over. I don't forget things like this. Darryl Worley and Toby Keith get my money and ears.

[lilmsdangrus]

we are waiting patiently for their tour to start, to see how many people let them know in person, (or not, if they leave their seats go empty) just how adamant a pissed-off true America lover can be.

[rwfromkansas]

Sick.

This is still not an apology, just saying "sorry I chose wording that made fun of Dubya."

[rwfromkansas]

You should have swiped them when the clerk wasn't looking and hit them somewhere in the store.

I do that to books in Barnes and Noble sometimes. Even with security cameras, it seems that nobody bothers to get them once you do that.

[ladyinred]

I understand they are objecting to the fans taking their (the Chicks) money away from them as a punishment. The arrogance of that is amazing. It is not "their money", it is the fan's money they choose not to spend on them.
I hope the Chicks never recover the fame they once had.

[rwfromkansas]

I actually used to like some DC songs, which was a source of embarrassment for me since I did not like country and tried to distinguish myself as a Kansan that did not listen to country.

But, this type of crap will not get me to listen to them anymore, I will tel you that.

The only thing they could do would be to give an apology of substance, where they apologized for attacking the war.

[since1868]

I agree I thought I was going to have a hard time not listining to them. Now if I hear them on the radio it sounds like muzak

[since1868]

She says she supports the troops opposes the war.
Sorry dude you can't do both (a is a)

[miele man]

You said, "I'd love to see them, at this point, say something like - "Anyone who has been a fan of ours for years and has decided to nolonger listen to our music soley based upon my comments were never true fans, and frankly we don't care if you buy our music ever again or not. If you feel I am a disgrace for stating my opinion, then I likewise find you a disgrace to true fans of our music."

Do you really mean to say that a "true fan" must blindly accept the vapid, immature and stupid remarks of Ms. Maines in order to remain a "true fan"? I pass, thank you.

[longtermmemmory]

they forgot Blixie Chix and Vishey Chix. Instead they intersperse the "vulgar" names with patriotic descriptives like hero and patriot. This is not contrite or any indication of appology. This is defiance. This is a declaration of war. This reminds me of the picture with clinton sitting on a stoop with his legs apart. (ie you can s*ck my

) Notice "the other two" acting as shields to manes. They are not controversial. There is no controversy. Manes can say whatever she wants PLEASE keep talking. We are just equally free to say what we want and vote with our wallets. You hear that lipton? http://www.lipton.com (i wonder if lipton knows about these nude cover pictures? are these part of the wholesome image they want to portray?) They might as well be flipping the finger to the fans.

I say the alternative concerts let those with dixie chix tickets in for free. Give you tickets to the salvation army (its a christian organization which hollywood hates) and write the tickets price off on your taxes.

[longtermmemmory]

Remind people to dump lipton too.

[AmericanVictory]

One of her problems seems to be that she is neither well-informed nor very intelligent.

[harpo11]

Yeah, right, she is sorrier for the loss of revenue than she is for what she said. EX-#42 sure has taught people well how to half-way, somewhat, so-so, apologize.

[TejasRose]

Prediction: (may not happen, of course) After the war winds down, W invites the DCs to the WH for a command performance. After all, he is a uniter, not a divider. And maybe he can change their minds some.

I don't know about that...they were invited to the inaugural ball in 2100 and refused because they were *huge* Gore supporters.

[chainsaw]

The best suggestion I have seen yet for the Dixie Chicks to get back with the masses, would be for them to donate all their revenue from their tour to the families of the service men/women that gave their life for their country.

I think I might be able to listen to them then. But I'm not going to hold my breath. Those twits just don't have what it takes to be patriotic americans. They are too money hungry.
