The ladies from "The View" shredded a copy of Time magazine yesterday after getting dissed by the issue's cover girls - controversial country music group, The Dixie Chicks.
"We are furious!" roared "View" moderator Meredith Vieira in the opening moments of the show, "Furious!"
In Time's cover story this week, Dixie Chick Emily Robison says that the group takes its political views very seriously and will try to limit appearances to high-caliber, meaningful gigs. Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines' "new motto is, 'What would Bruce Springsteen do?' " says Robison. "Not that we're of that caliber, but would Bruce Springsteen do 'The View'?"
Even with a new CD to promote, the group has no plans to appear on "The View," the article says. "They're . . . not doing . . . 'The View,' " sneered co-host Joy Behar as she tore the article into confetti and tossed the shreds over her head.
When the singing group was starting out, however, it had no problem appearing on the show and was even interviewed by former co-host Debbie Matenopolous. "This is obnoxious, obnoxious," said Vieira. "We started these girls - back in 1998, they couldn't get arrested. We were one of the first national shows to give them a platform, because they deserve a platform - they are incredibly talented performers."
"It's one thing to diss the Bush administration, it's treason to diss 'The View'!" said Behar. For the next hour, the four hosts of the women's coffee klatch show repeatedly slammed the Dixie Chicks until the show was over - when Vieira made it clear they were joking around and invited The Dixie Chicks to appear anytime.
--Hell hath no fury like the View women scorned.

You Said
I'm really, really tired of the Dixie Chicks thinking they are so high and mighty. I read one comment where they were like we'd rather have a few "cool" fans than have the same fans as some one like Toby Keith....referring to mainstream fans. Well, you're few "cool" fans sure aren't going to pay your bills, are they? I swear these girls keep digging themselves deeper and deeper.

I agree! They are so high and mighty and about what? That pig nosed girl shot her mouth off and they paid for it big time. Have you heard the new album? It's terrible. Come this time next year, I bet they'll be begging to get on the View, even if it's just to talk about how sorry they are for pissing off their fan base.

First..The View woman need to get over it..not everyone likes them either.
Second..The Dixie Chicks are no more..they killed themselves and have no one to blame but themselves..besides they were not that hot to begin with.
