Muttonheaded Red Cross turned down big bucks.

I missed this when it happened but it came up in an interview Howard Stern did with the Dixie Chicks yesterday so I checked it out at the Miami Herald and sure enough...
It has been three years since ''The Incident,'' the term the Dixie Chicks use when discussing the anti-Bush remark lead singer Natalie Maines uttered onstage in London and its fallout: detailed death threats, vandalism, a boycott by country radio, mass gatherings to destroy the group's CDs, the Red Cross' refusal of their $1 million donation.

It was all due to one line said in frustration days before America went to war in Iraq: "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.''

And this from the guys who sell your blood.
