Who's laughing now?

"Just so you know, we are ashamed the president of the United States is from the state of Texas."

Defiant Dixie Chicks win three Grammys

Country music trio the Dixie Chicks, proudly unrepentant for igniting a firestorm by criticizing George W. Bush, won three Grammys on Sunday, including song of the year.

The Dixie Chicks, one of several acts with five nominations, won song of the year for "Not Ready To Make Nice." The defiant tune was a response to the backlash that engulfed the group after singer Natalie Maines told fans she was ashamed to come from the same state as fellow Texan Bush.

After they won for best country album, Maines parroted the trademark "Heh! Heh!" snicker of the schoolyard bully character on the animated TV show "The Simpsons."

Added bandmate Emily Robison: "We wouldn't have made this album without everything we went through,
so we have no regrets."
The Dixie Chicks were right from the very beginning...In fact, if you don't agree with that top sentence, maybe you should be boycotted.
