Dixie Chicks Pulled from Air After Bashing Bush







DALLAS (Reuters) - Music superstars the Dixie Chicks are finding out that criticizing President Bush's plans for war in Iraq can cost you air play, big time.



OFF THE AIR



Station managers said their decisions were prompted by calls from irate listeners who thought criticism of the president was unpatriotic.



Houston country station KILT pulled the band's records from its playlist -- at least temporarily -- after 77 percent of people polled on its Web site said they supported the move.



"We've got them off the air for right now," said Jeff Garrison, program director at KILT, which is owned by Viacom's Infinity Broadcasting Corp.



"People are shocked. They cannot believe Texas' own have attacked the state and the president," Garrison said.
