Natalie Maines, the fat Dixie Chick, mouthed off in London the other night about George Bush. "Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas", said the porker. Natalie, just so you know, I'm ashamed that you're from the United States. Didn't your daddy, Lloyd, teach you any better manners than that? Maybe instead of ol' Earl slappin' Wanda around he should have been slappin' some sense into your empty head before he ate them blackeyed peas and was dumped in the lake.
Trying to dig themselves out of a hole the Chicks posted the following on their website:
We've been overseas for several weeks and have been reading and following the news accounts of our government's position," the group explains. "The anti-American sentiment that has unfolded here is astounding. While we support our troops, there is nothing more frightening than the notion of going to war with Iraq and the prospect of all the innocent lives that will be lost."
And there is nothing more frightening than listening to an airhead expound on foreign policy. Barbra Streisand meet Natalie Maines. Natalie, Barbra. Now go away and leave us alone and shut the fuck up!
Maines also says, "I feel the President is ignoring the opinions of many in the U.S. and alienating the rest of the world. My comments were made in frustration and one of the privileges of being an American is you are free to voice your own point of view."
And one of the privileges of being an American is I can voice my point of view and that is that you are an airhead. Natalie, remember that map that showed who voted for Bush and who voted for Gore in the 2000 election? Remember the red area? Those are the people who voted for Bush. Those are also the people who are more likely to listen to country music and be your biggest fans. You just pissed a whole big bunch of 'em off.
Kansas City radio stations dump Dixie Chicks.
Angry phone calls flooded Nashville radio station WKDF-FM on Thursday, some calling for a boycott of the Texas trio's music.
I'll tell you what Charlie Daniels thinks of the Hollywood dipshits that Natalie is starting to sound like.
Why you bunch of pitiful, hypocritical, idiotic, spoiled mugwumps.
get your head out of the sand and smell the Trade Towers burning.
Do you think that a trip to Iraq by Sean Penn did anything but encourage
a wanton murderer to think that the people of the U.S.A. didn’t have the
nerve or the guts to fight him?
Barbra Streisand’s fanatical and hateful rantings about George Bush
makes about as much sense as Michael Jackson hanging a baby over a
railing.
And.
You people need to get out of Hollywood once in a while and get out into
the real world. You’d be surprised at the hostility you would find out
here.
Stop in at a truck stop and tell an overworked, long distance truck
driver that you don’t think Saddam Hussein is doing anything wrong.
Yeah, Natalie, spout that shit to a truck driver and see what he now thinks of you and the other two Chicks.
Tell a farmer with a couple of sons in the military that you think the
United States has no right to defend itself.
Very well stated Charlie.
And now we come to Zell Miller. I didn't vote for Zell Miller when he was elected to Lt. Governor and then Governor of Georgia. I don't vote for Dimocrats. The first time I ever voted for a Dimocrat was in last year's primary when I voted for Denise Majette to do my part to defeat Cynthia McKinney. But I tell you what. I would vote for Zell right now.
Zell Miller is our senior senator from Georgia. He has been asked many times to switch parties but he says he has been a Dimocrat all his life and is not about to change now. The fact that he is a Dimocrat has not stopped him from voting with the Republicans on tax cuts and other matters. I'm just upset that he will not run for reelection, 'cause I would surely vote for him. He says he doesn't want to run again because of the partisanship and the uncontrolled spending.
Zell got up on the floor of the Senate the other day and said the following:(Thanks to Richard for sending me this)
"Mr. President, I have signed on as an original co-sponsor of the Iraq
resolution, and I'd like to tell you a story about why I think it is the
right path to take:
A few weeks ago, we were doing some work on my back porch back home, tearing out a section of old stacked rocks, when all of a sudden I uncovered a nest of copperhead snakes.
Now, I'm not one to get alarmed at snakes. I know they perform some
useful functions, like eating rats. And when I was a young lad, I kept
snakes as pets. I had an indigo snake, a bull snake, a corn snake and
many others. I must have had a dozen king snakes at one time or another. They make great pets and you only had to feed them a mouse every 30 days.
I read all the books by Raymond C. Ditmars, who was the foremost
herpetologist of his day. That's an expert on snakes. For a while, I
wanted to be a herpetologist, but the pull of being a big-league shortstop
outran that childhood dream.
I reminisce this way to explain that snakes don't scare me like they do
some people. And I guess the reason is that I know the difference between those that are harmless and those that will kill you.
In fact, I bet I may be the only senator in this body who can look at the
last three inches of a snake's tail and tell you whether it's poisonous or
not. I can also tell the sex of a snake, but that's another story.
A copperhead will kill you. It could kill one of my dogs. It could kill
one of my grandchildren. It could kill any of my four great grandchildren.
They play all the time where I found these killers.
And you know, when I discovered these copperheads, I didn't call my wife
Shirley and ask her advice, like I do on most things. I didn't yell for
help from my neighbors or take it to the city council. I just took a hoe
and knocked them in the head and killed them. Dead as a doorknob.
I guess you could call it a unilateral action. Or pre-emptive or even
bellicose and reactive.
I took their poisonous heads off because they were a threat to me. And they
were a threat to my home and my family. They were a threat to all I hold
dear.
And isn't that what this is all about?"
Yup! That's what it is all about.
Charlie and Zell get it.
Natalie doesn't.
