FUNNY ISNT IT?

Isnt it funny The Dixie Chicks whose career seems to have taken a tail spin feels the need to take off their clothes to revamp or recharge their career. I found President Bush's comments to Tom Brokaw right to the point when asked about them and other crtics like Chirac on Dixie Chicks he said Of the singing Texas trio, who have been outspoken critics of the U.S.-led war, Bush said, "The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind."  
 
 
At the same time, Bush added: "They shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because some people don't want to buy their records when they speak out. You know, freedom is a two-way street."  
 
I think now they are desparate they should have thought before they opened their foolish UNAMERICAN mouths! As far as Chirac he merely says "I doint think he will be coming to the ranch anytime soon" lol  
President Bush has invited other world leaders to come.

It seems the brainless Dixie Chicks have once again allowed themselves to put their foot in their mouths. Their stupid act of wearing a T- Shirt saying "FU TK which everyone (Including Presenter Vince Gill) took mean (sorry in advance for language) Fuck You Toby Keith! Got them booed once again! It seems they think they have the support of country music and who knows America they are soooo wrong! As they place their careers in jepardy once again I wonder if they will ever learn! If Chicks are smart or at least two of them they will distance themselves from BIG MOUTH Natalie! before their careers are over!

Dixie Chicks Booed, Snubbed at Country Music Show
Thu May 22, 1:15 AM ET  Add Entertainment - Reuters to My Yahoo!  
 
By Dean Goodman  
 
LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Former country music darlings the Dixie Chicks are still paying a price for criticizing the U.S.-led war against Iraq.
 
The trio was snubbed at the Academy of Country Music Awards on Wednesday while audience members booed the very mention of the absent group's name.  
 
The Texas musicians have been on the defensive since March, when singer Natalie Maines expressed shame in coming from the same state as President Bush. Several radio stations pulled the chart-topping group's songs, and sales of their acclaimed new album slipped.  
 
Instead of showing up at the glitzy Las Vegas ceremony, the three-time nominees performed a song live via satellite from Austin, Texas. They received a "pretty big negative response," the show's host, Reba McEntire, told reporters backstage afterward.  
 
Later during the ceremony, presenter Vince Gill jokingly mumbled their names when listing the contenders for entertainer of the year.  
 
Gill, who has said people should forgive the group, said backstage that the atmosphere "wasn't near as volatile" as it was during the Flameworthy Music Awards in Nashville last month.  
 
CROSSOVER QUEENS BESTED  
 
The Dixie Chicks were not the only high-profile act to go home empty-handed. Country-pop crossover queens Shania Twain and Faith Hill were bested for top female vocalist by two-time winner Martina McBride.
 
Toby Keith, who went into the ceremony with a leading eight nominations, won just a single prize -- albeit the top one, entertainer of the year. But he left the event, held for the first time in Las Vegas, before his name was called out.  
 
Keith flaunted his brash patriotism in the chart-topping anthem "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)."  
 
Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney and the trio Rascal Flatts won two prizes each.  
 
 
Jackson, a six-time nominee, was honored for album of the year ("Drive") and country video ("Drive "). His career tally now stands at 11 prizes.  
 
Chesney, long overlooked at awards shows, won the prizes for single record of the year ("The Good Stuff") and top male vocalist. Chesney, who admitted that he had initially been reluctant to record "The Good Stuff," a No. 1 country hit, went into the event with five nominations.  
 
Rascal Flatts made a clean sweep, winning for top vocal group and song of the year ("I'm Movin' On"), an award that also went to its writers, Phillip White and D. Vincent Williams.  
 
Veteran country stars Brooks & Dunn won their 17th award, for top vocal duo. The legendary Willie Nelson won just his fifth award, top vocal event for "Mendocino County Line," his collaboration with Lee Ann Womack.  
 
The top new male vocalist award went to Arkansas native Joe Nichols, a former cable system installer who nabbed three Grammy nominations earlier this year for his debut album, "Man With a Memory," which he released six months ago.  
 
Kellie Coffey, a former back-up singer for Barbra Streisand, was named top new female vocalist. Canadian sextet Emerson Drive won the prize for top new vocal duo or group.
