-2nd apology-
"As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I feel that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect. We are currently in Europe and witnessing a huge anti-American sentiment as a result of the perceived rush to war. While war may remain a viable option, as a mother, I just want to see every possible alternative exhausted before children and American soldiers' lives are lost. I love my country. I am a proud American."[45][46]
....nothing. no apology. no outrage. no boycott.

Is Hank making albums, selling music, selling out concert venues, etc.? No? Then who gives a shit, right?
With the Dixie Chicks, their label and all the radio stations had to worry about blowback from country music fans (and we can make a few generalizations about them, can't we?). With Hank, no one cares. That's the difference.

Hank Williams Jr. is a colossal p.o.s. And of course no one's demanding an apology.
