Cat fight: The Dixie Chicks vs The View Ladies

[CatWoman]

CHAT FIGHT
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."

1. Every single one of them...

needs to get over themselves.

[RebelDawg]

4. agreed n/m

[BOSSHOG]

2. Must be viera's "lady's time"

I'm not quite sure how all this hoopla works but I've never watched the View and I have all of the Chicks CD's including the latest one. How could I have possibly been so influenced without Meredith's prescient two cents worth?

[Richardo]

9. .

:spray: "lady time"

[BOSSHOG]

28. Taken from that wonderful black and white comedy of the 70's

PAPER MOON. Where the young black maid was splaining to Addie Pray that "Trixie" (Madilyn Kahn) was in the midst of her "Lady's Time" and could not be disturbed.

[Richardo]

30. I forgot about that - one of my favorite movies.

:patriot: Chief!

[Virginia Dare]

10. Get your flameproof suit on quick!!!...n/t

[AwakeAtLast]

29. I was just typing the same thing

I'm sure that is the reason for her emotion. Can't go having an opinion, even if I don't agree. :eyes:

[KyndCulture]

Natalie could take on Vieira...

She'd kick her smarmy ass.

[wryter2000]

36. LOL

I'd pay to watch that. :rofl:

[Spazito]

3. LOL! what a hoot!

A show who's biggest reason for being is, primarily, the hosts' ability to snark taking umbrage at snark, roflmao! Gotta love it!

:rofl:

[sarcasmo]

5. Good to see the Chick's blowing off the Chickens at the view.

[KyndCulture]

6. Those wenches are a disgrace to my gender.

I hate that show.

[Iblis]

7. You left out the best part...

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.


BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

*wipes tear*

whoo!

*sigh*

Thanks for posting this. I needed it.

24. They dissed Nurses once...

I haven't watched them since. Good for the Dixie Chicks. The View did not make the Dixie Chicks, they were a talented force to be reckoned with on the Texas Music scene (we grow our fair share of C&W legends) before they EVER were on the View.

I haven't read it yet but heard that the Times's said Natalie was born middle finger first.:spray: All I can say it they are not use to real Texas Women. We don't take crap and we know how to kick ass.

[Gato Moteado]

35. the toughest chick in texas is skittles.......

...and she's from illinois.

[faithnotgreed]

31. so was this a joke or what am i clearly missing

thanks for the information

[Captain Hilts]

8. The women on "The View" are 'ladies'????

I'm not so sure. They can be pretty crude.

[tanyev]

11. BWAHAHA! Lovin' the Chicks even more!

:rofl:

[robbedvoter]

12. Actually the View women occasionally talk relevant issues

Watch once in a blue moon, but a week ago they spoke of Tony Snow's racial slur for instance - and DaVinci Code religious hysterical reaction. I wish the Chicks had taken on a more vapid, unfirendly media segment.

[StellaBlue]

13. Joy Behar is the only remotely human person on that show.

It sucks.

But sometimes I watch it. Like a car crash. Much more entertaining than anything else on at that time, but not for the reasons they think.

I HATE Star Jones. And I hate that GOP-apologist spoiled blonde bitch even more.

:nuke:

[TwilightZone]

14. They were supposedly joking...

Though, talking about something for an hour and then saying, "Oh, we were only kidding" seems a bit bizarre.

[godai]

15. Even this kind of publicity is good

Whoever worked out the marketing for the new CD did a great job...cover of Time, numerous TV gigs, Howard Stern, MSN website (which will follow them for the next year).

This continues to push the bushbots down. 30% and sinking. They need to be further isolated as out of touch with what is really important but we need to be prepared for the rovian onslaught sure to follow before November. Hopefully there's no turning back for those who have abandoned the pResident.

[Deb]

16. Awww, did Meredith get her panties in a wad

or is she the one that admitted to not wearing any? Panty wearing was the topic of conversation the one time I watched. :eyes:

[Burma Jones]

17. Lah De Mutherfuckin' Dah

[Beaverhausen]

18. The Dixie Chicks don't need to demean themselves by appearing on that show

Good for them! The Chicks rule!

By the way, the Time article itself is kind of snarkly towards them. But if anyone really bothers to think about what they went through - including very pointed and detailed death threats - they would understand that they indeed, aren't "ready to make nice."

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. The Dixie Chicks better watch out.

The View Ladies must out weigh them by several hundred pounds.

[China_cat]

23. The view people

will probably get a reprimand from Disney. The Dixie Chicks will be the opening act for this year's 'summer concert series' on GMA...one of the few things worth watching that program for.

[ContraBass Black]

20. For the Dixie Chicks' target audience,

Isn't that a ringing endorsement?

[FuzzyDicePHL]

21. Chicks vs. Biddies

n/t

[AspenRose]

27. Bwahahahahahaha

:spray:

[ronnykmarshall]

22. Gag me !

Those yentas needs to get reality check.

[cally]

25. The View is one of the few, the only?, balanced talk show

They have a two liberals and two conservatives. I watch it maybe two times a year, but I don't hate it. It's much better than the Republican whoring found on Good Morning America or the other morning shows. I'm just now a fan of fluff talk shows but the View is better than most IMHO.

[gratuitous]

26. Oh, that "Celebrity Deathmatch" was still on the air

"You're playing with fire, and you're gonna get burned."

[Left Is Write]

32. The Dixie Chicks were around several years before 1998.

[Wetzelbill]

33. oh gosh...

the world is a weird place. :)

[peekaloo]

34. Prepping for her 'Today' show premiere.

Jack W. is beaming.

[Shakespeare]

37. "We started these girls."

Like HELL you did! Vieira needs to get the fuck over herself.
