You'd think that the Dixie Chicks would have learned their lesson the first and second times around:
Dixie Chick: Bush owed ‘no respect whatsoever’I guess no one clued Natalie in on the reality of her opening her pie-hole.NEW YORK - The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines apologized for disrespecting President Bush during a London concert in 2003. But now, she's taking it back.
"I don't feel that way anymore," she told Time magazine for its issue hitting newsstands Monday. "I don't feel he is owed any respect whatsoever."
As war in Iraq loomed, Maines told the London audience: "Just so you know, we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."
The remarks led to death threats and a backlash from other country stars, including a high-profile spat with Toby Keith. It also stalled what until then had been the group's smashingly successful career.
Bandmate Emily Robinson said she knew right away the remark wouldn't be taken lightly and got "hot from my head to my toes."
"It wasn't that I didn't agree with her 100 percent; it was just, 'Oh, this is going to stir something up,'" she told Time.
I'm still predicting that the two sisters will ask Natalie Maines to leave and will assign the blame on her 140% with possible quotes like "She was a loose cannon....she didn't speak for us at all."
Just wait for it.....
I agree with some points that Maynes (however her name is spelled) is somewhat playing on this, b

Yeah, it's easy to say that three years after the fact and when no one pays attention to you anymore.
Didn't anyone else find it funny that Michael Moore suddenly developed a taste for the Dixie Chicks shortly after this?

Perhaps nobody is stirring much of a buzz because most people agree with her now. It is a shame that we had to get to this point for people to wake up to how terrible the Bush Administration is and how the GOP helped them get us here.

To me, it isn't that she 'spoke out', but rather the crocodile tears that she's putting on display.
She screwed up - she bashed the president and that offended a significant chunk of their audience and now that they're whining about being treated badly....it's falling on deaf ears.
The death threats are uncalled for - and I'm thinking that those probably came from some of their die-hard fans.

When we are now seeing why people have been against him and his administration all along and :gasp: there is some real validity to it. He has squandered so many opportunities that it makes my head spin.
But back to the point. Again, this whole things hasn't even made a splash because Maynes is not saying anything that 70% of the population already doesn't say themselves.
