Natalie Maines(the fat one) is at it again!
Lead singer Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks is taking back her apology for saying during a London concert in 2003 that they were ashamed that President Bush is from Texas. Maines says in Time magazine this week of her apology, "I don't feel that way anymore. I don't feel he is owed any respect whatsoever." After the 2003 remarks, Maines received death threats and there was a backlash from other country stars and from country radio, with many stations refusing to play the band's records. But Chicks' member Martie Maguire now says it was a blessing in disguise. She tells Time, "I'd rather have a small following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith. We don't want those kinds of fans. They limit what you can do." The Chicks' new album, with the first single, "Not Ready to Make Nice," is due out on Tuesday (May 23rd).

It can only get worse in 2008. Just imagine if Jeb Bush runs for El Presedente in 2008. With Mel Martinez as his running mate.. Oh what a sickening thought..
This comment probably doesn't apply to the topic, but is in line with other comments..
When you see on the evening news that Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter totally agree with GB's initiatives on illegal immigration; you know the man is a closet liberal Democrat, that snookered almost every Republican that voted for him.
The Senate needs a net thrown over them, hauled down to Gitmo, after we release our friendly compassionate non-terrorist, terrorists. Than we can elect some common people, not bought and paid for by big business and lobbyists to do the bidding of the American people. Sad state of affairs for this country, both Republican and Democrats equally.
Everytime I see GB on the news, I feel like I am watching Saturday Night Live, or Mad TV, and just wish he would take a very long bike ride, maybe over a cliff, with Lance Armstrong... Does anyone in Washington, DC have credibility anymore? Not with me.

Hey Jeb now we know you live with your Mommy and your blind. You think natalie maines is hot? Look at those pictures. You were probably into Carnie Wilson when she was 300+.
Leave my boy alone! He doesn't live with his mother. He didn't even visit us in TX this year for Memorial day. He went to visit the in-laws in MX. Send him a text message on his "blackberry" and ask him where his is at.
i think he did catch a big fish on one of his vacation days
Well for one-George Bush's Wildly Successful War On Terrorism
Lately, it seems that not a day can pass without Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, John Kerry and their ideological soul mates in the mainstream media making acerbic comments about how the Bush administration has handled the war on terrorism. For those of us who disagree with them, it is easy enough to "attack the attackers" and many people, myself included, have done exactly that. However, in and of itself, that is not an adequate response. Instead of debating whether or not the war on terror has been a failure, the truth, that war on terror has been an overwhelming success so far, must be told.
Despite what we hear daily from the "nattering nabobs of negativity" in our country, we should be proud of the magnificent job that George W. Bush, his administration, our troops, and our intelligence services have done fighting the war on terrorism. In perhaps the two most perfectly executed military campaigns ever waged on this earth, our troops smashed the Taliban and Saddam Hussein's regime, freeing 50 million people from tyrants who had made the lives of their people into a living hell.
In Afghanistan, we were told going in that the war would be long, difficult, and perhaps even unwinnable. A lesser man than George Bush might have gotten weak kneed at the prospect of sending our troops into a "mountainous Vietnam" and found some sort of excuse not to go. But, not only did we take the fight to our enemies in Afghanistan, we bombed Al-Qaeda's camps, decimated the Taliban, drove them out of power in less than two months, and sent our enemies running to Pakistan and remote caves on the Afghan border, where they live even today as hunted men. This is even more impressive than it sounds since our defeatist press was crying "quagmire" & "Vietnam" as we bombed our enemies into oblivion.
Then in Iraq, we removed Saddam Hussein, an anti-American tyrant & sponsor of terrorism who started two wars of aggression in the region while he simultaneously raped, tortured, and butchered his own people with a zeal matched by few figures in modern history. Once the war began, the performance of our military was again incomparable. Saddam's forces were defeated, scattered to the four winds in less than a month, even as the press, a week into the war, was again baying the dreaded "V word" loud and often.
Since then, the occupation of Iraq has been tougher than anticipated, but our troops have performed superbly under the most difficult of circumstances and Iraq is on track towards Democracy. As expected, the press has obsessively focused on the negatives: looting, violence, & Abu Ghraib. But on June 30th, sovereignty will be handed over to the Iraqis and in January of next year, the Iraqis are scheduled to have national elections to go along with the local elections that have happened across most of Iraq already. A cesspool of terrorism & anti-American hatred is being turned into a democracy, one that may help push the whole region towards freedom, because of the rock ribbed leadership of the Bush administration and the brilliant and determined performance of our soldiers on the ground.
But wait, there's more! Even if there were a terrorist attack inside the continental United States tomorrow, our intelligence agencies and the oft demonized John Ashcroft should be praised for successfully defending the homeland from Al-Qaeda for more than 2 1/2 years of war. How many people would have believed that was possible on September 12, 2001?
Of course, it may have been easier than some had expected to protect our country from Al-Qaeda since roughly 2/3rd's of Al-Qaeda's leadership has been captured and around 3000 rank and file members of Al-Qaeda have been "incapacitated" since 9/11.
Furthermore, formerly "terrorist friendly" nations like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Libya are now fervently pursuing terrorists inside of their own borders. And speaking of Pakistan and Libya, a nuclear arms ring based out of Pakistan is now out of business and one of its best customers, Libya, has now given up its WMD programs and is attempting to rejoin the family of nations. All of this is thanks to George Bush's diplomacy.
However, all of these triumphs for America are ignored by grandstanding politicians and a hostile press which incessantly snipes at the Bush administration, usually over comparatively minor issues. What must be understood is that they're missing the forest for the trees. Despite the setbacks and difficulties we've experienced, President Bush has accomplished more on the foreign policy front in less than one full term than the last 4 Democratic Presidents, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton, did combined!
All this brings to mind a Theodore Roosevelt quote that's a favorite of mine,
"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out where the strong man stumbled, or where a doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, and who comes up short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause. The man who at best knows the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, fails while daring greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who never knew victory or defeat."
"The man in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood" is one George W. Bush and waging a war on terrorism in an age when defending America has become a partisan issue must certainly be considered "daring greatly". We are lucky to have such a man in the White House, because like other great American Presidents of times gone by, he is leading America towards victory in a worthy cause.
It would have been cheaper, more cost effective, spared a lot of our soldiers lives, taken out the Taliban, the Al-Qaeda, and other misc. terror "blow me up for Allah" groups, and our so called back stabbing Saudi friends, etc. if we had a president that had the common sense to nuke the shit out of the Middle East all together. That should have been the first step in the process. It's like fighting fire ants in Florida. If you use the cheap stuff you have another mound popping up a week later. Use "Over and Out" and the mounds are gone for at least a year. Than we should have used our troops to weed out the fire ants hiding in the US waiting for Allah to call. After wiping that problem out, than we should have take care of the Mexican jumping bean problem starting at least 3 years ago or prior, before it got to the point we are at now. Bush nore Kerry, nore algore have the leadership qualities to do that.
