Dixie Chicks Blast Schwarzenegger

Robison casts her vote against Arnold in Governor's race

Six months after anti-George Bush remarks made by singer Natalie Maines onstage in London erupted into a conservative backlash in the United States, the Dixie Chicks are on tour in Europe again and targeting another high-profile Republican.
" is a great film star," banjo player Emily Robison told a German newspaper, "but I find his run for governor absolutely insane."
The Terminator star and former Mr. Universe is the leading Republican candidate in the California recall ballot to replace Governor Gray Davis, and has drawn ire from women's groups over his days as a playboy bodybuilder.
"America should be governed by people who have a clue," Robison continued. "I hope he doesn't win."

I have to disagree with Emily, Aunald is not a "great film star." His acting sucks.

Recall no, Bustamante yes!

Now we will again here from the rush's and hannitys and ann poultergeists, ranting on her statements.
I applaud the Dixie Chicks!!!
Even though I cant stand country music

I'll bet they would attract a lot of concerned Americans...

These Chicks are Great! I wonder what their favorite arnie movie is?
Or were they just being kind?

Nothing more scary to those Big-Bad-Repugs than some itty-bitty chicks with big voices that don't know when to shut up & keep in their places!

in the kitchen. Ye-haw! Don't worry your prudy lil' ole head 'bout politics honey, they's for men. Now, why doncha go back with the girls, and throw another log on the fire. Bake me up biscits and some beans. Sorry, couldn't help myself there. Go Chicks!!!!

Who would ever have thought the Dixie Chicks would become a rare brave voice of reason?

are consistent they should not vote for AS because isn't Austria "Old Europe?" AS is Old Europe with a Democrat wife.

I don't want to hear any more about no Dixie Chickens if you want to know the truth. They ain't got nothing to say that I want to hear.

You must have missed their interview with Diane Sawyer--they held their ground--very impressive. Some Democratic men should have such balls!

that's a picture I really didn't need in my mind. :crazy:

Any Dumb can be a President....

That's being pretty generous, considering you're talking about a bodybuilder with an austrian accent playing the part of a robot with an austrian accent.
He's right up there with Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan.

. . . from last month's Esquire magazine:

"As much as when you see a blonde with great tits and a great ass,
you say to yourself, 'Hey, she must be stupid or must have nothing
else to offer', which maybe is the case many times. But then again
there is the one that is as smart as her breasts look, great as her
face looks, beautiful as her whole body looks gorgeous, you know,
so people are shocked."


I'm inclined to agree with Clive James' description of Aaahhnnuld
as looking like 'a condom stuffed full of walnuts'.

TYY :7

On Edit: Clive Davis changed to Clive James.

Great quote, so, credit where credit is due.

. . . but I'm pretty sure Clive James was the originator.

TYY

was from Clive James, not Clive Davis -- perhaps that's who you meant? Who, it appears, did say it first.

TYY

that the Dixie Chicks know anymore about politics than AS, and they probably know even less about AS. There opinion in world affairs is minimal. If they want AS to sit out, they should sit out also.

running for any political office.

Last time I checked, they're free to speak up. So is Arnold. But that doesn't make him a great candidate.

He IS running, by the way.

sort of, not that the Dixie Chicks have quite Ahhhnold level of celebrity. But the Repubs have always done their "Don't listen to stooopid celebrity people like Barbara Streisand or whoever--just because somebody is rich and famous doesn't mean they know what they're talking about" routine, and slammed your Woody Harrelsons (Search his commentary on a few subjects like the War on Some Drugs and the current restrictions on free speech, and you'll find him articulate and informed...he ain't Woody from "Cheers") and Janeane Garofalos (sometimes a comedienne isn't just a joker, if she feels deeply about what she speaks of). Why, what does Robert Redford, or Ted for crying out loud Danson, know about the environment?

Silly, isn't it? In conservative-world, maybe.

But If Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to be a very well-funded Republican for the state of California...well...let the actor speak! If the money he can bring to bomb movies be brought to bomb legislation...if he can court lobbyists who write good checks...why...bring him on! He's a HumVee celeb...not a namby-pamby limosine lib!

Feh! Give me Robbins and Sarandon (anyone ever see "Bob Robertson"? Was that like the most politically conscious movie, or am I deep in the bourbon again? Okay, okay, or both?) instead. Give me Paul Newman (also old enough to be my dad...but...um...a girl has her *likes*...)

But why for *Governor* of California? If entertainers shouldn't be trusted to talk about their pet topics...why run for office, where more things are at stake?
