Natalie Maines apologized. Cut her some slack, OK? I mean, she really shouldn’t have said what she said (even though I agree with her) but she did admit that she made a mistake and deserves our forgiveness.

(For those cynics who will say that I’m only asking forgiveness because it’s anti-Bush, three years ago, I called for people to give Bush a break with the DWI charge because it had been 20 years since the incident took place and the president had stopped drinking. I’m an equal opportunity forgiver.)
