DIXIE CHICKS SWEEP GRAMMYS, SET SIGHTS ON ‘DEMMIES’
Fresh off their domination of the Grammy Awards, the Dixie Chicks have set off on an even more ambitious course, seeking the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

As lead singer Natalie Maines said, “somebody’s got to show some balls and take on these GOP bastards. And if the Swift Boaters come after us, we’ll show them who’s not ready to make nice.”

Indeed, the polls already show the Dixie Chicks with a lead in many of the early primary contests. As one pollster put it, “in many respects they’re the ideal Democratic candidate: good-looking women from the South, who opposed the war from Day One, and won’t take any shit from Bush. And to top it off, they’ve got better hair than even John Edwards.”

Even the ultra-conservative, typically pro-war country music community — which previously blackballed the Chicks — has radically “changed its tune.” Currently topping the Billboard Country charts are such songs as “I Want to Leave Iraq So I Can Work on My Truck,” and “I’d Rather Get Shot By My Old Lady, Not Some Shiite Militiaman.”
