–Natalie Maines, lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, to a London concert audience.

“The emotion of the callers telling us about their fathers and sons and brothers who are overseas now and who fought in previous wars was very specific.”
–Jim Jacobs, president of Jacobs Broadcast Group, which includes a station boycotting the Chicks.

Simple concept, but apparently it bears repeating: saying you don’t like the president isn’t saying anything about the military.
