They've also both been to prison and had much more controversy in their lives overall than the Dixie Chicks. People expect them to open their mouths and say whatever they think, and would be disappointed if they didn't (well I guess at this point they'd be downright scared if Johnny opened his mouth, since he's dead 'n all).
Not disputing your point, I think people just take it differently when it comes out of cute little Natalie's mouth than Johnny's or Willie's.
