Oh really? Gee whiz, I thought every celebrity apology was out of genuine contriteness and sincerity, and not just a ploy pushed by their agents to sucker the gullible American public into giving them another chance because they love to see those public confessions.
Then you think Don Imus's apology was 'out of genuine contriteness and sincerity'? Or just to get back on the air?
Who is talking about "Dog"? Not me. I don't consider him a celebrity in the first place, he is more like Marie Osmond and Eric Estrada on the B list. Probably be seen "Dancing with the Stars" next season. I think it is great our society allows trailer trash to play cops on TV though. Anything is possible in America.
Where did the 'had to' part come from? Did like the PC police come after them or something?
That's where the ole double standard comes in...Dixie Chicks get to say what they want, fine, they are idiots, but hey are free to say what they want.
Their listeners vote with their wallets and now they are second class acts with cancelled tour dates, no more radio play, and now the Dixie Chicks cry foul saying NO YOU CAN"T DO THAT THIS IS UNFAIR.
For them the freedom of speach works only one way I guess. Celebrities - idiots. You can say what you want but take the responsibility like an adult.
And just to balance this out - Brittany Spears saying "I support the president because he's, like, our president and we should". Throw her in with the Dixie Chicks - idiots, just on the other side of the political fence.
It seems like hardly a day passes when someone in the public eye says something that is not politically correct. Then they are forced to say they are sorry and everyone gets all worked up and angry. Just once I wish someone would be able to get away with saying something that is not PC but they truly believe and everyone knows it is true.
Has the PC thing gone to far?
I'm tired of celebrities thinking anyone cares about their political opinions.

Frankly, I'm even more tired of the celebrities shooting off their mouths in places where they don't have the full story, or could care less about the full story, or in political arenas where they have no active business in the first place, and then attempting to apologize just to get on front page news, or in the celebrity rags. If a celebrity wants to play the political game, just do it, to hell with careers. And I'll never understand this PC crap. Call a spade a spade, be through with it, but have your ducks all lines up, first.
