Dixie Chicks to Unload on President Bush at Grammys?

Will the Dixie Chicks unload on President George W. Bush at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night?  Singer Natalie Maines ignited a firestorm of controversy when she said during a London concert in 2003 that she was ashamed to hail from the same state as Bush. 

The Chicks then went on to attack country music fans, country music icon Toby Keith and seriously harmed their career in country music.  Now they are back, and though their album sales have dropped, they are all over the Grammy's.  If they win - what will they say?

Reuters notes that the Chicks' first album since the brouhaha, "Taking the Long Way," yielded five Grammy nominations, including three for the wry single "Not Ready to Make Nice." The acclaimed album was the ninth-biggest seller in the United States last year, even if its commercial success fell short of its predecessors.

Writer Dean Goodman details that Grammy voters love underdogs and comeback stories, which could help the Dixie Chicks add to their collection of eight Grammy's. But politically charged music arising from such turbulent times as Vietnam and Watergate has traditionally been ignored at awards time.

Maines and her two bandmates, sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire are certainly going to take home at least one Grammy, will they go after the president with some politically charged words?
