Dixie Chicks Redux.
Dixie Chicks told ET that the comments were all a joke, they really didn't mean it and people are just looking for somewhere to channel their energy. (So it was my fault, right?)

I think thats called "damage control" for those that are politicaly correct or in other words "back peddling".I think she'd better shut up before the DC's careers go down the tubes the rest of the way.

Remember the comments that came out of the DC camp in the days immediatly following the putdown of the President? That they were "proud" of what they had said? These statements are completely inconsistent with the current "joke" description.

Maybe the DC should stand for dingy cowgirls, dumb comments, or drained careers. Like them or hate them, you have to admitt it was boneheaded to go there. Even worse not to stand your ground.

NO doubt! People that have to apologize for what they say are stupid and don't think before they speak, or they simply lack the courage to stand up for what they say/believe.
That's pretty weak. I would have much more respect for them if they said "yeah, that's how we feel. We meant what we said, even if we said it tactlessly"
But then again, I think before I speak, so I don't have this problem a whole lot...

Of course this is a back pedal, here is a chain of events as I see them.
1) Very fortunate to break out into the big buck arena.
2) Feeling superior to peons and followers.
3) Run mouth.
4) Income hurt.
5) Not big enough to admit they were wrong.
6) Smoothed that over by blaming people that have extra energy to burn off.

I agree... they ended up taking a hit in the purse, and the record company saw their DC's becoming box office poison, so a little " 'Heh heh, you did'nt really think little ol' us MEANT that, now did ya'll? Why, we wuz jest so excited at being in the big city and it all went to our heads!', was the order of the day, and by the way, catch the Texas girls at your next BIG CONCERT EVENT, be sure to pick up their latest album of the latest hits, and would'nt you look good in a T-shirt with their pretty faces on it???"
And odds are it'll work... people have short memories. Jane Fonda found work after her little vacation to Hanoi, and you can bet the DC's have their P.R. folks working around the clock to put some shine on their tarnished image.

Hanoi Jane Fonda found work about 25 years later with her work-out video but had to freshen up her chest with silicone before anyone would take her picture 
My memory is longer than 25 years. My advice to these people is to shup up when it comes to religion and politics.
This is one of the few places on earth where either is served with Ketchup.

The least they could do is do a concert for the troups. I think what would really help them is if they went up in a b-52 and each droped one bomb in Iraq, destroying an iraqi military position. By this i meen they litterly push the button to drop the bomb.
