So it wasn't all that long ago that people were burning the Dixie Chicks recordings and sending them hate mail and such. Country music had practically disowned them. Why? Because Natalie Maines had commented on a stage in London (not one of the Axis of Evil, FYI) that she was ashamed to be from the same state as good ol' W. Having since moved to said state, I can't say I exactly blame her. It's a rather nice place to be sullied by such a twit.
So then how did the Dixie Chicks manage to win THREE Grammy awards tonight? Two of them for the song, Not Ready to Make Nice, which represented their non-apology for their comments about the president and the resulting backlash against them.
Has America finally figured out that there's a reason Molly Ivins (may she rest in peace) always called him shrub? Or have Bush's approval ratings (or lack thereof) finally caught up with him? Where was Karl Rove to spin the Grammy voters? He must have been too busy with Scooter Libby's jury...
Seriously, it couldn't just be that a good band won for a great song?
I know, I know better than that.
