The Usual Idiots
Sheryl "Chest for Brains" Crow apparently took a page from Babs' book and posted some bloviations on Iraq on her fan website. After Drudge linked it, it mysteriously disappeared, but still lives on in the Google cache (which Drudge has now linked).
There are many questions that beg to be asked. Some are being asked rhetorically by many journalists, including a great writer at the New York Times by the name of Daniel Friedman.
Drudge says "Sorry, Thomas". Gawd, she even writes in the same earnest 5th grader style that Babs uses. (Yeah, I know they both likely have someone on the payroll to churn the stuff out, but they sign it.)

In a further shocker, the Vichy Chicks' manager, Simon Renshaw, is apparently telling Country Music radio stations that the Chicks are victims of a right wing conspiracy.
That's what their manager, Simon Renshaw, has told country music stations being pressured to drop the Chicks' music after lead singer Natalie Maines criticized President Bush last week.
Brainiac's background:
Simon Renshaw, a manager at the Firm, which represents such acts as the Dixie Chicks, Korn and Limp Bizkit.
After Simon gets his designer tin foil beanie fitted, maybe he'll take a look at the demographics of the Chicks' former audience and figure out that they differ a bit from Limp Bizkit fans. Of course, after taking a 5 megaton hit in the wallet, I expect Simon would say anything.
