Dixie Chick Calls BUSH A 'DUMB FUCK'
Edited on Tue Sep-12-06 08:59 PM by kpete
Heart of Dixie
EW's Chris Willman got a sneak peek at the Dixie Chicks' sure-to-be-controversial documentary ''Shut Up and Sing,'' in which Natalie Maines calls the president a ''dumb f---''




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.

8. "Move past country?" There's nothing wrong with country music.
Just with some of the loudmouth assholes, who don't do REAL country music anyway.

28. They have
Their latest album was promoted very little to country radio in comparison to other formats.

Many country stations didn't play it anyway.

2. Go, Nat!
I'll buy every CD you girls ever make, even if I don't like the songs on them.

(So far I've liked them all, but the promise still holds.)

13. Scarborough and some moron were attacking them
and protest country music but the other guest was cool. He even played a verse from Honkey Tonkers for Truth to 'prove his point' about their anti-Bush music. He flopped as usual.

5. The Dixie Chicks are true Americans.......
I thought the comment from * was so childish and unbecoming of a President.....They have every right to say what they want to...

18. Gawd! I love a woman with a command of language - and gritty integrity.
Natalie gets sexier and sexier every time I hear her clear and keen sense of the obvious.
