From the Grammy Awards:
"I, for the first time in my life, am speechless," said Maines, who generated controversy during a 2003 UK concert by telling the audience that she was ashamed George W. Bush was from her home state of Texas.

Natalie Maines spoke the truth in 2003 and for that the Dixie Chicks suffered the "slings and arrows" of public condemnation and lost bookings.
Ms. Maines has been vindicated by history. I can only wish that more of our politicians had her courage. Maybe we wouldn't be in this most awful mess that's Iraq.
