Against an elegant backdrop of political cocktail partying, singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow and top presidential adviser Karl Rove got into a heated exchange over global warming at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
Crow recently joined forces with Hollywood activist Laurie David in the “Stop Global Warming College Tour,” which pretty much is what it says. The duo was seen in a heated conversation with Rove, in an incident which quickly became the evening’s centerpiece of discussion.
An eye-witness recounted what they saw: “Sheryl and Karl Rove were talking. Karl looked annoyed and she was poking him [angrily]. He started to leave and she pulled on his sleeve and pulled him back. Rove tried to walk away.”
Crow recounted her conversation with Rove to our observer, saying, “I went to talk to him about the global warming project, and he said, ‘You should look at what the Administration is doing.’ I said ‘What IS the administration doing?’ And he said, ‘I don't need to be confronted like this.’ I said ‘you work for me,’ and he said ‘I don’t work for you, I work for the American people.’ “I said I am ‘American people!’”
Eventually the exchange ended, but clearly not amicably. A visibly stricken Crow told our eyewitness: “I’m still shaking about it. I’m not a scientist but I know a little about global warming. I couldn’t believe how combative and rude he was.”
But another witness came to Rove’s defense: “Laurie David was in his face, being very aggressive, (which was) really inappropriate for the setting. She was intentionally picking a fight so that she could get it written about. Crow came over, she was less aggressive, a little sheepish. Then David walked away. Then Crow left,” reported our source, who claimed to have no reason to side with Rove on the controversy, but considered what the women did to be, “so wrong.”
Word of the exchange spread quickly. “Hey, go ask Karl about global warming” became the mantra of the night.
But while Rove sat at his table and finished his dinner, Crow returned to her table, but then presumably disappeared. She was overheard saying that she felt uncomfortable about the whole incident and was considering leaving the dinner altogether because of how much of a ruckus it caused.
David, we were told, immediately returned to her table and was seen blogging about the incident. Now that’s dedication.
No wonder they'll all be unemployed in a few years.
Cheryl Crow = Class A1 Nutjob
Her buddy = a word that is used for a retaining wall to keep floodwaters out.
Crow, Laurie — do the letters ‘F.O.’ mean anything to you?
The sooner the better! Hope you are well DR. It’s been a long time. V’s wife.
Sheryl Crow: “I said I am ‘American people!’”
Louis XIV: “L’État, c’est moi!”
BTW, I wonder how much ecological waste there is involved in the: fake teeth business; the fake body enhancement business; the hair dye business; and of course the travel the globe via the airlines business. V’s wife.
I am glad this happened. I am so fed up with srineless republican responses, by not responding the Bush people have set them selves up to be abused.
Maybe and this may be hard to think they can make this leap, but maybe after some more of this Republicans will get angry and start fighting back.
Nothing worse that 2 bimbos trying to interrupt a dinner with their issue of the day.
Nothing about Crow’s use of TP?
He’s M C Rove!
It's not nice to speak so unkindly of someone with her intellectual capacity. She can't help it, she was born that way.
Is it “intellectual capacity” or “intellectual deficit”?
I have been withholding my regular political donations to the GOP and I will continue to do so until I see some fight. I don’t like siding with scared bunny rabbits. That said, it’s good to see Rove didn’t roll over for these two clueless morons.
I think you both are right. I don’t think the clueless, uneducated, uninformed Hollywood people will ever shut up though. They should because more & more I watch less movies, buy less dvds & cds from people that have such big rude mouths. I also stopped buying from sponsors as much as possible who buy airtime when shows like The View are on. I let many of The View’s sponsors know why I won’t be buying their products anymore. Didn’t seem to bother them either. So if they don’t value me as a customer I can replace their products with someone else’s. I am just sick of the rude loud mouth know it all Hollywood types & Al Gore types who preach at the general public about what WE need to do to save the earth yet they can continue to do whatever they want. Screw them & their jet set life styles.
Hanging in there. Thanks.
In my family we do the same, we inform ourselves of the stores and the products and we stay away from anything which is not...spiritually and politically pallatable for us. Power to the people :)
