Washington 'D.C.' Renamed to Honor Dixie Chicks
(2003-03-15) -- The 'D.C.' in Washington D.C. will no longer stand for District of Columbia if some Democrats have their way.
Sen. Tom Daschle, D-SD, announced today that members of his party will introduce a bill Monday to officially call the nation's capital "Washington Dixie Chicks."
"It seems only right," said Sen. Daschle, "Since the Dixie Chicks have just set a new record for one-day U.S. concert ticket sales, that we should honor them in this way. In addition, they have demonstrated that they have the pulse of American country music fans by expressing their embarrassment about coming from George Bush's home state of Texas."
The Dixie Chicks sold 867,000 concert tickets in one day this month, raking in $49 million dollars from adoring American fans. The tour is sponsored by Lipton.
