CNN) -- The Grammy Awards were nice to the Dixie Chicks, who won song of the year, a songwriter's award, for "Not Ready to Make Nice." The Chicks -- Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Robison -- shared the award with Dan Wilson, formerly of Semisonic and Trip Shakespeare. "I, for the first time in my life, am speechless," said Maines, who became a controversial figure in 2003 after making critical comments about President Bush. "Not Ready to Make Nice" was a response to the controversy; after Maines' comments, the Chicks' songs were pulled from a number of country music stations and the group was pilloried by former fans. The Chicks have won three awards. They also won best country performance by a duo or group with vocal and, after the song of the year award, were honored with best country album for "Taking the Long Way." "A lot of people just turned their TVs off right now," Maines said after the country album award.

Natalie admitted later that she had put on a little weight lately.
Talk about a pity award.
If you have Bush Derangement Syndrome, then you get awards in the entertainment industry and puff pieces on 60 Minutes by Katie Couric.
donde esta el alarma del barf?
The got more awards for the album than the number of albums it sold.
BARF BARF BARF BARF
I stopped watching the grammys years ago for other reasons, now they really are for the trash can.
I like it.
If only Saddam Hussein could have lived to see it.
Dixie Twits Delenda Est...
I've near heard a single cut off their new album.
No Natalie. I didn't turn my tv off because I wasn't even watching. Sorry.
So they won for their politics instead of their music. No surprise.
Are you watching the Grammys?
I thought I heard rapper "Ludacris" thank Bill O'Reilly a little earlier, and if so I suspect it was for all the free pub Bill's been giving him over the past year or so. This should be The Factor's "most Ludacris item of the day" tomorrow.
Q. Could they win these awards based on musical talent?
A. No.
