Bill O'Lielly sucks up to the Dixie Chicks

At the Time 100 party a few days before this interview, the Dixie Chicks performed "Not Ready to Make Nice." Afterward Ms. Maines recounted, the Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly — who has regularly denounced her, and whom she pointedly calls "despicable" — rushed over to greet them. "It's like, 'Just want to say that was great!' " Ms. Maines said. " 'I really like that new song.' "

"And I go, 'But two million tops, right?' And he goes, 'What?' And I said, 'I saw your show when you said we wouldn't sell more than two million, tops.' And he was like, 'Oh, ah, well, two million's pretty good these days, right?' And I was just like, 'Right, yeah. You were saying it in a positive way.' "

Ms. Robison interrupted, laughing. "That's what you call a no-spin zone."

"So then he was just backtracking," Ms. Maines continued. "He says: 'We really respect what you did. And we really respect that you stand up for yourself and blah blah blah. We just wish you would say it over here.' And I said, 'I'll say it over here.' "

It's kinda like Katherine Harris trying to get invited to a Duke Rugby Team party.

:spray:

:rofl:

Typical.

Two large scotch on the rocks just for that vermin to "get in the right state of mind" to do that show.

And I'll bet $5.00 I'm right. That much mean and nasty needs the kind of help that comes in a bottle.

Seriously, I love the Dixie Chicks and can hardly wait to get their new album. They are bright, funny, incisive, lively.... their music is a delight to listen to. And since The Incident, we can add "gutsy" to their praises.

Hekate

I especially like how he seemed to assume that she would forget how he called them traitors and shit. I guess all of his listeners are used to forgetting what he says from day to day, so they don't notice when he spins like that. He's so used to having his ass kissed by worshipers he probably expects everyone to treat him that way. :shrug:
