I like them too, and not due to their album sales OR what they said about President Bush. Their detractors would like to portray them as washups. Yeah, 14 Grammy washups.

BS. Controversy sells. The Chicks got a bump immediately after the event. Perfect example of a media-enhanced sympathy and notoriety.
But they lost their base and their new-found population of adorers didn't really like country music, they liked the politics. The country music people hated the politics and liked the music.
The trade-off was lost market for liberal adoration. They own their decision.
By the way, how many Dixie Chicks albums you your lefties have in your collection. I'm betting 1 album. Maybe 2.....
