No amount of award type validation will change the fact that there are many people who now hate the Dixie Chicks. And will always hate the Dixie Chicks. Simply because of a few simple words that didn't fit into their notions of what it means to be patriotic (read: if you don't love George W Bush just shut the fuck up).

That’s true of a certain minority, but there’s also the issue of how exactly does the Dixie Chicks get saddled with such responsibility as defeating the GOP? Are the Dixie Chicks such talentless hacks that they can’t be known for anything other then some ditzy comment? Is it possible that the Dixie Chicks won a Grammy or several because they’re music is enjoyed, not because of some dipshit comment years ago? Granted, that seems surprising to me, but then most Grammies that get awarded seem surprising to me.

Deranged Bush Hate Syndrome strikes again...
These sad, tragic people are unable to enjoy life in any way, they are constantly on their manic alert for anything...anything that can be blamed on Bush...or anything, anything that can show a win over Bush. It eats away at them, day and night, 24 hours a day...sadly, there is no known cure. Even a mid-term election victory was nary good news enough to alleviate these DBHS sufferers' ongoing mental anguish. Fortunately for them, Bush's life functions will terminate statistically in less than 20 years.....can they just hold on?

Too bad their domestic sales are in the toilet right next to their schedule of cancelled concerts. Shame even.

Most awards for music, TV, and movies showcase the liberal intellectual mindset that they, not the common folk, know whats good.

I guess that's why the Dixie Twits are having to cancell U.S. dates right and left, and their album sales are about 1/3rd of those compared to the sales of their previous albums.

Yay for them. A liberal organization is awarding a liberal group.

This just in:
I went searching on ALtaVista ( it's like google, only been around for a long time , for you kiddies. )for Dixie Chicks news, and one of the earliest links for the story was from AlJazeera in English. Guess that proves it-- they're on the side of the terrorists, probably controlled directly by Sadam Hussein. No, wait , he's dead... that's right, Iran-- they're part of the Iranian attack on America Probably got Weapons of Mass destruction in their bras.

Only, USA today, and Cnn also covered the story, as well as the Christian Science Monitor. also Entertainment Weekly.

Of course, the news guys that report the TRUTH, Fox, Limbaugh, and HaAnnity and Colmes, have heroically stood firm, stayed the course, and not reported on this yet.

As an aside how exactly dose one go about winning a Grammy? i mean who or what sets the selection process.

The thing about this hole bit...

Yes, they haven't been reduced to living in cardboard box's (or France) and eating cat food. However, also yes that there star is not were it once was.

They did alienate a lot of there fans and it show's in record sales and especially in the domestic concert biesness. Some of the fan's in question were more affected than others and i assume thay picked up at lest a few replacement’s form non-country-listening people.

i call it a draw as to who won this one.

Wow. I wondered where the Bushies have been hiding. But just look at 'em swarm when their beloved leader is snarked. It's kind of comical, like watching a stirred-up ant nest. Thanks for the show NewOld. It's always a pleasure watching those folks make fools of themselves.

Good. Now if we can just get them to stop with the Anna Nicole Smith stuff then we might get some real news.

So let me get this straight. If "Cars" wins the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, then we're rejecting the global warming hysteria? And if "the Queen" wins Best Picture, we really want the return of monarchy?
