Take That, Bush!

Don'cha just love it?

The Dixie Chicks trump Bush with a Grammy for "I'm Not Ready to Make Nice!"

Yee hah! Good going, gals!

... Now can we just impeach the buggers already?


Complete Lyrics Here. Excerpt below:

"...I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything

But I’m still waiting"

• WaPo: At the Grammys, Making Very Nice:

  "The Dixie Chicks got the last laugh Sunday night. 'Not Ready to Make Nice,' the group's defiant answer to the angry country fans who'd criticized the group for criticizing Bush, won song of the year, the industry's top songwriting award. 'I am, for the first time in my life, speechless,' Natalie Maines said. Earlier, the protest singer Joan Baez had introduced the Dixie Chicks as 'three brave women who are still not ready to make nice.'"

• UPDATE: Country Radio Disses Dixie Chicks

  "NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Country radio still isn't ready to make nice with the Dixie Chicks.
  
  With a haul of Grammys Sunday, the Texas trio topped their comeback from their 2003 Bush-bashing comment that turned them from superstars to pariahs — but Music Row isn't welcoming them back into the country-music fold.
  
  'Most country stations aren't playing the Chicks, and they aren't going to start now,' said Jim Jacobs, owner of WTDR-FM, a country radio station in Talladega, Ala.
  
  The awards might have the opposite effect, sparking another radio backlash against the group. Country broadcasters said Monday that the group's five Grammys show how out of touch the Recording Academy is from the average country fan.
  
  'I think (the listeners) are outraged," said Tony Lama, program director for KXNP in North Platte, Neb. "This is rural, conservative America. They are just disgusted.'"
