From a WashPost review of the Dixie Chicks documentary “Shut Up and Sing”:
One of the excellent attributes of "Shut Up and Sing" is that it lets the cards fall where they may and really doesn't try to spin the Chicks themselves. It's quite possible, then, to watch the film and come to the conclusion that Natalie Maines has a big mouth. Spectacularly talented, the young singer is also a spectacular blowhard, and documentarian Barbara Kopple almost subversively focuses on Maines blabbering away at meetings without a serious thought in her head, no impulse control anywhere in sight, and, for some reason, always supine, as if her great status grants her the right to encounter the world from bed.Yipes! Let’s run the video again.

It kind of amazes me that so many non-country defenders of Fatalie don't get the real point -- it's not that she criticized the President, it's that she was showing a severe lack of manners and then acted snotty about it. She has no grace nor class.
It's too bad that JorgX's obvious grace and class couldn't rub off on "Fatalie."
