AUCKLAND, New Zealand (TV One) - Natalie Maines� recent onstage comment regarding President Bush was �a joke,� she told a New Zealand TV reporter.
A feature story on the Dixie Chicks aired Sunday (March 31) on Holmes, a news and entertainment program on New Zealand�s TV One.

Maines acknowledged that she told a London concert audience that the group was ashamed that the president is from their home state of Texas, but she added, �And it was a joke and it wasn�t planned. And it was really funny at the time. It got lots of cheers, and that�s what it was meant for.� Maines noted, �You see the trouble that you can get into if you speak religion or politics. It gets people very upset.�
Maines issued a written apology after making the remark at a March 10 concert.
