DIXIE BIMBOS ON TV When people as stupid as they are get into politics this is what happens. Manes just joins the band of celebrity high school grads like Garofolo, Streisand, Baldwin, and the rest who think they have brains. Consider the arrogance and the stupidity of people who will spend months to get a three minute song "right" but spend zero time on a subject as complex as world affairs. To top it off Manes had months to prepare for the TV interview and still showed she is an airhead. I half expected her to take her clothes off to get attention. Could any 28 year old high school graduate command a public forum as they have done? They confuse celebrity with expertise on everything. YUK!

What complicates the careers of singers and actors who decide to pontificate about politics is that we lose the ability to concentrate on their music or their movies when we attend or view their artistic efforts. They become their politics not their talents. A friend of mine went to a sneak of the new Hoffman movie and told me that several people were shouting out things like, "tell us about the war, Dustin", "March in Berkeley" and stuff like that; outbursts from movie fans that disrupted the movie.

Manes ain't no kid. She's twenty eight years old. She was in England pandering to an extreme left anti-war audience and was willing to trash her own country to get into their good graces. The hell with the Dixie Chicks; and the rest of the Hollywood Left.
