Faith Hill, Tim McGraw acting like the Dixie Chicks
From wreg.com:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Country music couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill today vented their frustrations with the federal government's cleanup efforts along the Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Hill, who grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, said the government response has been embarrassing and humiliating to the country.
McGraw, a native of Delhi, Louisiana, directly criticized President Bush, saying he doesn't understand why the president is not giving jobs to the victims and staying on top of it until it's done.
Both the singers have spent time in the devastated areas helping with relief efforts and raising money for victims.
Yesterday Bush criticized Congress' earlier diversion of levee-rebuilding money to non-New Orleans-related projects, saying lawmakers "shortchanged the process" of restoring the city.
I wonder if the wingnuts will start burning their Faith Hill and Tim McGraw cd's. The wingnuts don't respond well to criticism of their hero, President Bush. Just ask the Dixie Chicks about that. With Bush's approval ratings at an all time low, you gotta figure even the country music/nascar crowd are no longer supporting him so maybe there won't be a backlash. Even Toby Keith has been awfully quiet. I guess we won't be seeing photoshopped images of Faith Hill or Tim McGraw next to Saddam at Toby's shows.
