TEARS ON TV: DIXIE CHICKS EXPLAIN BUSH BASHING
In a candid and emotional exclusive interview, ABC's Diane Sawyer talks with the Dixie Chicks -- Natalie Maines, Emily Robison and Martie Maguire -- who finally speak out about controversial comments regarding President Bush, made last month overseas during a London concert.
The on-stage remarks, which many say were unpatriotic, have resulted in a flood of criticism and a backlash that has included a boycott of their music.
The interview will air on PRIMETIME THURSDAY (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on ABC -- but the DRUDGE REPORT can now reveal some highlights:
NATALIE MAINES ON WHETHER SHE IS TRULY SORRY FOR HER ON-STAGE COMMENT ABOUT PRESIDENT BUSH:
MAINES: I think it came down to, it was ... that it was in a foreign country and it was that it was an off-the-cuff statement…And I think the way I said it was disrespectful. The wording I used, the way I said it, that was disrespectful…
DIANE SAWYER: …I hear something not quite ... what? Whole-hearted ...
MAINES: …Really?...
SAWYER: ... when you talk about apologizing for what you said about the President.
MAINES: ….It's not because it's not genuine. It's because I'm on guard now…I feel regret for, you know, the choice of words. Or the non-choice…Am I sorry that I asked questions and that I don't just follow? No.
ON PERSONAL THREATS:
MAGUIRE: …I also believe that yes, some of our fans were upset by it, but… does the punishment fit the crime? How far are you going to go? I think it's rational and totally acceptable for people to write a letter... and say "You know, I was really offended by what you said about the President."… we know some of our fans were shocked and ... and upset, and we are compassionate to that. I totally understand it. My problem is, when does it cross the line? When is trashing Emily's property okay? When is writing a threatening letter okay?...
MAINES: Accept us. Accept that we ... what we're saying right now is heartfelt, full of compassion, and honesty, but to forgive us ... don't forgive us for who we are. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Does anyone understand what the hell Natalie said here?? What kind of manager do the Chicks have?? They are digging themselves in deeper and deeper, man. Any manager with balls would have told Natalie to say SHE'S SORRY. SHE MADE A MISTAKE. BEG PUBLIC FORGIVENESS...whatever it takes to cool off the consumers. But, NOOOOOOO....the dumb bitches go on ABC tomorrow night to RAMBLE nonsensical justifications and dig a deeper grave. These dumb broads just never learn, do they???
You did the crime, now do the time! Same to YOU, Cureton!
