"Hurt my FEELINGS?...Stupid motherfucker."
Natalie Maines, in reaction to W's condescending comments on the Chicks backlash.

Barbara Kopple directed (hearts and Minds). Starts with Natalie dissing Bush in London, cross cuts between making the Rubin CD, getting death threats and conquoring Earth via wit, serious chops, disarming cuteness and sudden poison verbal darts Natalie, our spark plug of the sharp tongue.
The montage of Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld a et al lying their brains out is horrifically funny when seen in a row.

[Actually, and on second recollection, Maines may have merely said "Stupid fucker", with onlty an implied 'mother', though the sentiment was surely there. Whatever--a fine moment indeed.]

I was at a Texas football game this weekend and when an ad for the upcoming DC show flashed on the jumbotron 70k+ people booed. This made me sad.

Prickly Peacock nixes Chicks
NBC cancels ads for Dixie docu 'Sing'
By PAMELA MCCLINTOCK, JOSEF ADALIAN
NBC has refused to air ads for 'Shut Up & Sing.'
Weinstein
The Weinstein Co. is claiming that NBC and the CW have refused to air national ads for the new Dixie Chicks docu "Shut Up & Sing."
But while the Peacock has specifically said it won't accept the spots because they are disparaging of President Bush, a rep for the CW strongly denies the Weinsteins version of events.
Barbara Kopple's docu, which opens today in Gotham and L.A., revisits the fierce fallout that occurred in 2003 after lead singer Natalie Maines said she was ashamed that the president is from Texas, her home state.
The national spot shows a clip of Bush authorizing troops to fight in Iraq, then cuts to a clip of Maines' comment. Next is a clip of the president saying publicly that the Dixie Chicks shouldn't have their feelings hurt if people don't want to buy their records anymore. The final frame shows Maines saying that Bush is a "real dumb (bleep)."
TWC wanted the national ads to begin running next week in preparation for the movie's expansion on Nov. 11. Company said it hasn't heard back yet from the commercial clearance departments at ABC, CBS and Fox.
"It's a sad commentary about the level of fear in our society that a movie about a group of courageous entertainers who were blacklisted for exercising their right of free speech is now itself being blacklisted by corporate America," Harvey Weinstein said in a statement. "The idea that anyone should be penalized for criticizing the president is profoundly un-American."

Barbara Kopple also directed a hi-larious Anne Hathaway movie,
Havoc.
