Apology from Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks:

As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my
remark was disrespectful. I now realize that whoever holds that office
should be treated with the utmost respect.

I hope everyone understands, I'm just a young girl who grew up in Texas. As
far back as I can remember, I heard people say they were ashamed of
President Clinton. I saw bumper stickers calling him everything from a
pothead to a murderer. I heard people on the radio and tv like Rush
Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott bad mouthing the
President and ridiculing his wife and daughter at every opportunity.

I heard LOTS of people disrespecting the President. So I guess I just
assumed it was acceptable behavior.

But now, thanks to the thousands of angry people who want radio stations to
boycott our music because criticizing the President is unpatriotic, I
realize it's wrong to have a liberal opinion if you're a country music
artist. I guess I should have thought about that before deciding to play
music that attracts hypocritical red necks.

I also realize now that I'm supposed to just sing and look cute so our fans
won't have anything to upset them while they're cheating on their wives or
getting in drunken bar fights or driving around in their pickup trucks
shooting highway signs and small animals.

And most important of all, I realize that it's wrong for a celebrity to
voice a political opinion, unless they're Charlie Daniels, Clint Black,
Merle Haggard, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, Ricky Skaggs, Travis Tritt,
Hank Williams Jr, Amy Grant, Larry Gatlin, Crystal Gayle, Reba McEntire,
Lee Greenwood, Lorrie Morgan, Anita Bryant, Mike Oldfield, Ted Nugent,
Wayne Newton, Dick Clark, Jay Leno, Drew Carey, Dixie Carter, Victoria
Jackson, Charleton Heston, Fred Thompson, Ben Stein, Bruce Willis, Kevin
Costner, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Bo Derek, Rick Schroeder, George Will, Pat
Buchanan, Bill O'Reilly, Joe Rogan, Delta Burke, Robert Conrad or Jesse
Ventura.

God Bless America,
Natalie
