The New Democrat Dream Team: Faith Hill and Tim McGraw

In 2004 Tim McGraw told Time magazine that he was thinking of going into politics.

"I want to run for the Senate from Tennessee ... Not now, but when I'm 50, when the music dies down," the country singer said.

"Wouldn't Faith [Hill] make a great senator's wife?" McGraw asked.

The couple recently met with reporters in Nashville to promote their upcoming Soul2Soul II Tour but used the opportunity to jump into the political fray.

He sounded quite a bit like a candidate when he and his dutiful wife, both blasted the Hurricane Katrina cleanup effort.

"To me, there's a lot of politics being played and a lot of people trying to put people in bad positions in order to further their agendas," McGraw, a native of Delhi, La., told ABC News Radio. "When you have people dying because they're poor and black or poor and white, or because of whatever they are - if that's a number on a political scale - then that is the most wrong thing. That erases everything that's great about our country."

McGraw then went after President Bush, saying, "There's no reason why someone can't go down there who's supposed to be the leader of the free world ... and say, 'I'm giving you a job to do and I'm not leaving here until it's done. And you're held accountable, and you're held accountable, and you're held accountable. This is what I've given you to do, and if it's not done by the time I get back on my plane, then you're fired and someone else will be in your place.'"

Hill described the status of the region as "bulls***," adding that "it is a huge, huge problem and it's embarrassing."

She went on to say, "I fear for our country if we can't handle our people [during] a natural disaster. And I can't stand to see it. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out point A to point B . . . And they can't even skip from point A to point B. It's just screwed up."

The Left Coast Report thinks the couple may be taking a cue from the Dixie Chicks.
