Dixie Chicks withdraw apology to Bush

Not unusual that a Swift Boater like mysteryman would Swift Boat Lamont by saying Lamont Swift Boated Lieberman. That's easier than admitting that a large majority of Americans have turned on the war. Most Americans say Bushie deliberately lied us into war. mysteryman would accuse all of them of Swift Boating the Presidunce.

What happened to that "big tent" that the dems claim to have?
The one that has room for everyone,no matter who they are or what they believe,as long as they are dems

You mean room for African Americans and other minorities to run for Congress and win?

Joe obviously has decided to run as an independent. He is no longer a Democrat. Therefore, there doesn't seem to be much room for him at this point. But I'm sure Republicans would love to have him in their camp.

I think you misunderstood me.

I absolutely agree,the voters spoke in Ct,and they made their choice.
I also know that it was a small percentage of the registered voters in Ct.

So,if he is no longer a democrat,then why are the party leaders and big names begging him not to run?
They are afraid that he will hurt the ticket,and that he is hurting the dem party.

If he is no longer a dem,why do they care if he runs or not?

"The international press won't get their first look at the documentary Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing until its gala premiere at the Toronto Film Festival tonight. But EW.com got an early look at the sure-to-be-controversial doc in Los Angeles and can attest that the film will continue to bring the (ex?) country trio more plaudits from progressives and further condemnation from conservatives. And if you think singer Natalie Maines had some harsh words for President Bush in public, wait till you hear what she had to say about him behind the scenes.

In one memorable scene, Maines watches news footage of the president being interviewed about the furor that followed the singer's on-stage comment that she was ''ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas,'' which resulted in the group being dropped from most radio stations, as well as protests and plummeting sales. ''The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind,'' Bush told Tom Brokaw at the time, adding, ''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.''

After watching this footage, Maines repeats the president's comment about how the group shouldn't have their ''feelings hurt,'' incredulous, and then says, ''What a dumb f---.'' She then looks into the camera, as if addressing Bush, and reiterates, ''You're a dumb f---.''

We could be wrong, but we have a feeling that in Toronto, at least, they're gonna love it." http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0%2C6115%2C1533988_1_0_%2C00.html

Keith Olbermann really went all out in blasting Bush.


"Five years later this space is still empty.


Five years later there is no memorial to the dead.

Five years later there is no building rising to show with proud defiance that we would not have our America wrung from us, by cowards and criminals.


Five years later this country's wound is still open.

Five years later this country's mass grave is still unmarked.

Five years later this is still just a background for a photo-op.

It is beyond shameful.

...

Who has left this hole in the ground?


We have not forgotten, Mr. President.

You have.

May this country forgive you."

Dixie Chicks new album has already achieved platinum status, selling 1.5 million copies. That album occupied the No 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for two weeks in a row, it was the number one country album for five straight weeks, and was the nation's number one digital Album. Not too shabby.
