   What separates them from the rest is that they're _country_ music stars   
   (at least that's how they're defined).   
      
   Kanye West can rip Bush. He's a rapper. It's playing to his core   
   audience. What he can't do is to go on TV and say that Rodney King "got   
   what he deserved". What the Chicks did is the country equivalent.
