Karl Rove is a living peice of garbage and he needs to be destroyed as soon as possible.
Karl Rove is a faig. Who wouldn't wanna be touched by Sheryl Crow?
Sheryl Crow only wipes her butt with three squares of TP, so I can understand why Mr. Rove wouldn't want to be touched by her poopy hands.
Sheryl Crow needs to go back to making crappy feminist garbage, and let the men do the thinking.
As crazy as Karl Rove may be, Sheryl Crowe is even crazier to think that anybody can use 1 square piece of toilet paper to wipe their extremities without leaving a smelly mess behind.
A) Sheryl crowe is canadian!!
B) All these entertainment folks talking about global warming and all other issues is irritating just because they want publicity for themselves rather than the cause. Dont be surprised if Sheryl crow is about to release yet another random crappy album in a month's time from now.
Can't blame the guy for not wanting to be touched by someone who only uses 1 sheet of toilet paper...
I'd be annoyed with her if, upon meeting her, she immediately started beating me over the head with her 'cause.'
Crowe and David are lucky they didn't get her mouth smacked. They are trying to force their religion on others. These ladies have the brain power of one piece of toilet paper.
How do you idiots put stupid goofs commments up like this. Read the facts and dont use character assasinations. Act the man arguments arent credible.. Cheryl Crowe and her partner have a history of having a slanted view and so does You hated Karl.
Sincerely,
Yeah you all are pretty much closed minded
It seems that people here would rather deflect the issue from the self-centered narrow-minded myopic administration.
Let me get this straight, Sheryl just asked Karl about glogal warming... a hot button, controversial subject, then he got compative. According to the story, she did not act in any provacative way.
Yeah right!!! She is a zealot!!! She probably asked him why he was killing all these babies.
This swhole story lack objectivity.
Do you think this is actually true? What a joke!
Rove is sooo yesterday; his days, and Bush's, are over and he knows it. Watch out Sheryl Crow, Karl Rove takes everything personally and he will undoubtably try to find some bit of dirt to leak about you. No relatives in the CIA I hope?
Dear 'oh my god this is awesome'
Huh?
If I knew someone was a 'one square only' user, I would not be so quick to want to be touched by them either!
Liberals....save the precious trees, but helpless little babies who did not ask to be conceived - kill them and pretend that they don't experience a painful death.
Liberals have created a society not to care about human life, so why bitch and moan when we decide not to care about the life of a tree?
Its quite a pity that these celebrity's think their opinion reflects everyones opinion. People like Crowe and others should just stick to what they are good at... Looking good and singing music. Politics should be left to Politicians and shouldn't be criticized by people who have absolutely no idea what their job requires of them.
I also would deny Crowe touching me unless i saw her wash those grubby hands before she did so. I mean Seriously, who starts their 'political career' (I use this term VERY loosely as its not a career but a desperate cry for CD Sales) lobbying to only use one sheet of toilet paper, or 3 if its a sticky mess. Why don't we just break out the 3 seashells like in 'Demolition man'. I feel saddened to think that the world views us as a country that worries about how much toilet paper we use instead of poverty and oppression.
Heres an idea for you Crowe, Why don't you keep that mouth shut about global warming issues, that you know nothing about, and all that hot air that you held back should have a bigger impact on global warming than just using one piece of TP.
with three semi trucks,two buses and six cars I can see why she uses one square of paper.
Once again...sheryl crowe is canadian!! (shes just a little confused in all the fog of al gores snake oil salesman pitches I guess) Karl does not work for the canadian people, and Bush was not elected by the canadian people. Sheryl and her 'partner' are not 'the american people - the american majority - the american voice' by there out of touch hollywood sicko antics. The majority voted for Bush, and still think the same way as in 2004 no matter what al gore says or no matter how much toilet paper sheryl or her 'partner' use. I feel bad for Lance when he was going out with sheryl...whew!! What a smell that must of been!!! Back to the drawing board sheryl, you and your little group of cohorts haven't swayed the silent majority just yet.
Once again the TP queen is at it again. If she wants people to think she is creditable on global warming, she better rethink how to wipe with more than a square of toilet paper. The earth will adapt it always has and it always will. How dare we think we can control it. It's not up to us... All we can do is wipe.
There is no excuse for behaving like a bully. This was the wrong time and place for crowe and that other air-head to get all combative. That type of behavior just makes people shut their ears and not like you. She's obviously not very bright.
Crowe was born in Missouri-she is an American-stop saying she is Canadian
way for everyone to really focus on the TP issue instead of the greater issue here-- global warming and the US government's blind eye to the precarious position they are putting the ecosystem and future generations in. I find it appalling that educated people still deny that global warming is an issue. The best scientists in the world, conservative or not, have come together and stated that this is a serious problem that needs immediate attention. Governments throughout the world are adopting new methods to reduce greenhouse gases and try to couteract harmful emissions, and yet the US government chooses instead to pretend the situation is a ploy by Al Gore to regain popularity.
Shame on Rove for being close minded to an issue that many americans, silent and vocal, are concerned about.
Glad to see your Website doesn't actually investigate anything and just prints Huffington's version as the gospel. The environmentalists are such creepy people I wouldn't want them touching me either.
Not that I like Karl Rove, but you just don't touch someone who doesn't really like you in the first place... especially if you are condescending to them. As for the global warming issue, well, you can’t say that all of the data is in because it isn’t. Add to that the fact that many studies are flawed because of the particular political orientation of the sponsors of the research, and you have a hazy picture at best.
You’ll note that the particular questions she asked of Rove and the manner in which she asked them (combative, accusative, lovey-dovey, etc) aren’t mentioned… just her perception of how she was treated. A very one sided story.
As for the following part…
“Karl, according to David, replied: 'I don't work for you, I work for the American people.' Adding Sheryl stated, 'We are the American people.'” Well Sheryl, you are not the American people… you are two of them and I would thank you not to speak for me in the future.
nice balanced report, why bother even pretending to be objective just cut and paste what was blogged on moveon.org and your good to go. saves on expenses too.
She is canadian. Al gore is a snake oil sale salesman and yes, enviornmentalist can be creepy at times...a little stinky too. Poor Lance Armstrong, the smells he must of had to endure!!! Whew!
Rove works for the American people? I don't think so. He is a political hack turned monkey on Dubya's back. Hey Rove, you spongy creep, get out now while your boss still has time to put together some kind of legacy other than 'Post 9/11 had a huge opportunity but let some fat slob mis-lead him to worst Presidency since Warren G. Harding'.
Sheryl and her partner in cause are just another pair of people in the US that don't understand science.
Global Warming is happening, and historically it IS natural.
There is ZERO conclusive evidence that what is happening with our climate is NOT natural progression of the universe.
When one abandons reason, logic and scientific observation one comes to the conclusion that the warming trend of our climate is caused by humans and their dealings with the planets.
When one follows logic, reason and scientific observation one comes to the conclusion that the warming trend of our climate has happened before, and will happen again, regardless of human interaction.
The real scientific question is, can humans accelerate the warming process. Answer so far, we don't know.
A follow up would be if we change our behaviors now, will it have any effect on our climate. Answer so far, we don't know.
It sounds like Karl was 'ambushed' by Sheryl and David. Why can't they just attend and keep their liberal tree-hugging mouths shut?
Karl Rove, a.k.a. Porky Pig is a spoiled little child. Why else would he act the way he does. He is totally used to getting his own way and possibly scolds George W for not eating the crusts from his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Lord only knows that Bush would not be where he was if he didn't have a venom spreading satanic reputation spoiling shrew like Rove to clear a path to victory.
Karl Rove, Laurie David, and Sheryl Crow -- The Real Story [Byron York]
I just got an eyewitness account of the Karl Rove-Laurie David-Sheryl Crow encounter at the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday night, and it suggests that David and Crow were a bit more confrontational than they portrayed themselves in their own account of the incident, published in the Huffington Post. In their story, David and Crow write, 'The 'highlight' of the evening had to be when we were introduced to Karl Rove. How excited were we to have our first opportunity ever to talk directly to the Bush Administration about global warming.'
The eyewitness says the person who introduced David to Rove was the New York Times' Maureen Dowd. I want you to meet Laurie David, Dowd said to Rove. (These are all approximate recollections, so no quotation marks.) Dowd said David would like to say hello.
According to David and Crow, the encounter began with a polite request. 'We asked Mr. Rove if he would consider taking a fresh look at the science of global warming,' they write. 'Much to our dismay, he immediately got combative. And it went downhill from there.'
The eyewitness remembers it a bit differently. Immediately after Dowd's introduction, the witness says, David began lecturing Rove about global warming. This administration has done nothing on the issue, she told Rove. We face a crisis. The time to act is now. This administration has done nothing…
At that point, Rove broke in to say, Well, actually we have done something. Rove mentioned global climate research, at which point David broke in herself to say, You just don't understand. All these questions have been answered. That's worthless. That's useless.
In their account, David and Crow write, 'We reminded the senior White House advisor that the U.S. leads the world in global warming pollution and we are doing the least about it. Anger flaring, Mr. Rove immediately regurgitated the official Administration position on global warming which is that the US spends more on researching the causes than any other country.'
The eyewitness says Rove asked David if she had read the IPCC report, referring to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which, while confirming a human role in climate change, substantially undermines some of the most catastrophic charges made in Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth,' which David produced. David said she had read the report. 'We felt compelled to remind him that the research is done and the results [the IPCC report] are in,' David and Crow write. 'Mr. Rove exploded with even more venom. Like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum, Mr. Rove launched into a series of illogical arguments regarding China not doing enough thus neither should we. (Since when do we follow China's lead?)'
In the eyewitness' version, again, David and Crow are a bit more aggressive than their own story suggests. The eyewitness says David told Rove, You need to bring in new people to tell you the truth. Rove mentioned Dr. John Marburger, the White House science advisor. At that point, according to the eyewitness, Crow began poking Rove's chest with her finger, demanding to know what corporations were underwriting Marburger's work. Rove said Marburger had been in academia most of his career.
With Crow jabbing him in the chest, Rove turned to take his seat. Then, the witness says, Crow grabbed his arm. A few more words were exchanged, and it was over. At the Huffington Post, David and Crow described the ending this way: 'In his attempt to dismiss us, Mr. Rove turned to head toward his table, but as soon as he did so, Sheryl reached out to touch his arm. Karl swung around and spat, 'Don't touch me.' How hardened and removed from reality must a person be to refuse to be touched by Sheryl Crow? Unfazed, Sheryl abruptly responded, 'You can't speak to us like that, you work for us.' Karl then quipped, 'I don't work for you, I work for the American people.' To which Sheryl promptly reminded him, 'We are the American people.''
In light of the eyewitness' account, another way of saying it might be, How hardened and removed from reality must a person be to refuse to be jabbed in the chest by Sheryl Crow?

we do have scientific evidence that humans are changing the atmosphere of the globe, which has never happened before.
whether THAT is responsible for the global warming is not agreed upon by everyone, you are correct.
however, scientists do agree that the change in the atmosphere is likely harmful to human existance, and therefore should be avoided
Boy if those two aren't the blind bleeding the blind.
SHUTT UP ASS'S
hahah! To the comments prior to mine.. Grow Up. One thing is for sure.. We are going to experience global environmental deginerization. I said 'Global' you immature ones!!! In N.America, the emmisions regs are superior to any others in the world. That is the main reason China and other Asian countries have our work and are gainning in the market. They have virtually no smog, ozone, or chemical restictions...wtf. go yell at them. Hell I bet you dont even recycle, turn off all your lights, have a compost or do carpool. I DO! You are the problem.. yes you are the problem. You have to realize this!!! Go look in the mirror and say that to yourself. then go do your part.
In all seriousness though.. think of the markets, jobs, industries, and communication lost. What will happen to your local mechanics or oil change shops when we switch to the new eco form of transportations.. Think of our defence capabilities.. You think your gonna get to the moon on water today. And so much more, like the cost of solar, trying to replace your power company.. they will find some way for you to pay a fixed rate or large some to obtain it.. This will not be an over night process. This will be a transition.. slow esp now. This way the US can stay stable and influence the world... not just be the only ones to care and make the changes.
The one thing that does piss me off is the power/lights used at closed places at night. Go google a satalite view of America lite up vs. the rest of the world.
Rove knows what is best at this point in time... Sadly weather you know it or not.
I would be mean and combative too if someone told me I'd have to only use one square of toilet tissue from now on except for 'those pesky situations which require two or three'. I'd like Ms. Crow to spend a week following me around to the toilet and show me just how I'm supposed to make do with one square of T.P. Perhaps she should launch a campaign to install public bidets everywhere, but then you'd be wasting water. I don't know what kind of bowels she has, but consider me jealous if 1 to 3 squares is always enough for her!
For the record - Crow was born in Missouri. So stop disparaging the Canadians. She is our idiot.
truepatriot is anything but. Women can load hell into a holster as good as any man given the chance. Only those afraid of women strive to keep them down. truepatriot must be short for truereplicart or truedemian. he would fit like a puzzle piece into either camp.
Go back underground and leave living to those of us with courage.
Given the fact that Crow limits herself to a single square of toilet paper, or three for those 'pesky situations', who would want to touch her? C'mon... I don't care what your politics are, you gotta admit it: That's just plain nasty!! I'd be more concerned if Rove *did* touch her knowing her personal hygiene deficiencies.
Karl is so far buried up George's butt that he couldn't tell if any odd odors were his, George's, or some other party. He is defensive because he knows he's wrong. Karl says, 'I work for the American People'? What, both George AND his mom? Imus did too.
As to Sheryl; she can use my tounge to wipe her extremety - any time.
SC wrote a someone tongue-in-cheek comment in her blog. I'm guessing a lot of you need you humor labeled. Beyond that, she was talking about TP for peeing. I also missed the part where she said she never washed her hands.
In short, she can touch me.
1. How silly of the media to pick up on singer's blog and make it news. If the media has no other source for this story beside her's, then they are lacking in substance and credibility. If they lack credibility on such a simple story, how can we trust this media source in particular when they report on anything of true substance such as global warming?
2. How shallow are we, the American people, that we even care what a 2nd rate singer thinks? Someone above stated it perfectly - her actions are a cry for attention and CD sales, nothing more. Our actions of listening to her cries are pathetic. Buy her CD's if you like her music, but don't confuse popularity with significance, intelligence or relevance.
3. If she truly cared about the issue, she'd be doing green concerts, unplugged and acoustical, to save energy and reduce greenhouse emissions from the enormous amount of power it takes to run a modern pop concert. Oh, but that's not a popular venue, and she'd have a hard time filling more than a couple of nights worth of concerts that way. It would be BORING. She'd also change her touring entourage from several huge buses to electric vehicles, and perhaps simply put her guitar and road gear into the trunk of a few Prius' and hit the road. But no, you won't see the singer changing any of the activities that make money for her.
4. Use less toilet paper? Are you kidding? Did that actually make the news?
We need a brain infusion, America! Just please, don't take take donations from 2nd rate Canadian singers.
Although Global Warming is a very important issue, Sheyrl and her partner don't have the knowledge or right to address the 'cause'...I despise Entertainers who overstep their boundaries and try to become political heros....
She sure acts like a canadian...my sympathies go out to Lance Armstrong. He must not have lost his sense of smell to be with that woman. Some people are referring to her in other blogs as 'dirty butt butt girl' and 'stink butt'. Maybe her new nick name could be 'dirty butt butt'.
There is good reason to suspect that humans' activity is accelerating global warming, but it is true that there is no conclusive proof of this. The problem is that we are on uncharted territory here. Never before in the history of this planet have atmospheric CO2 levels risen as quickly as they are rising now. So with all our observations and computer models, the best we can do is extrapolate what will happen as a result - at least until a conclusive experiment is performed.
Fortunately, we are doing just such an experiment right now. As long as the environmentalists don't succeed in muddying up the experiment by slowing down CO2 emissions, we should know conclusively within 50 years what the true effect of all that CO2 really is.
While we're waiting for the experimental results to come in, this might be a good time to invest in future beachfront property in Greenland.
Thanks, Ms. Crow - you've just alienated another politician to the cause of global warming. Any legitimate lobbyist knows you cannot confront people you've just met and expect them to take you seriously. Maybe some time spent shadowing a successful lobbyist might teach you a little something about how to talk to people when you have an agenda, why its vitally important to establish rapport and a common frame of reference, and discover what their true position is on the issues, and then get your message across without alienating them or shutting them down. Once they stop listening - you're done! You've done much more harm than good. Don't give up your day job.
See FATDUMBANDHAPPY's response on page 3. And kudos to everyone blasting the media for copy-and-pasting a blog as noteworthy news.
Stink butt
I find it amazing the sympathy for Karl Rove that is out there. If there is anyone in this country doing more harm to America than Rove I certainly do not know who that could be. With all the TP comments out there it seems people would rather be funny than face the issues. China doesn't do it so why should we is an argument a six year old would use not Bush's number one advisor. Just for the record I wouldn't touch Rove either in fact I wouldn't want to be in the same room.
WOW! All the people who wrote against Sheryl Crowe have no idea about life on this earth.
If there is no earth where are all of you??? Think..Think...This is not republican-democartic issue.Such narrow mindedness is scary.
'''
Karl, according to David, replied: 'I don't work for you, I work for the American people.' Adding Sheryl stated, 'We are the American people.'
'''
This is so very telling, and for those who are watching, repetitive.
BushCo et al think they only represent those who voted for (& agree with) them. This will ultimately be their downfall, and the path to prison. Their actions and words so clearly purport this non-democracy view: even the far right support will dwindle when it becomes clear that our leaders really do not believe that they represent all Americans – only ideological supporters.
Silvershot...the issues, where is the proof that humans are creating global warming. The humor is more true than the pitchmen's movies that you enviornmentalist are so enthrawled in. It's almost turning into a religion for you guys. geeez. Also, whats with this trend of anyone who challenges global warming 'theories' and the wackos all get postal on our azz or cooky like the TP thing. Thats why were are all laughing and finding humor in it.
What Mr Rove fails to see is that the curtain has been pulled back, and the Wizard is nothing more than a little fat man with glasses who's levels of Mob manipulation no longer work. Frankly I thank the current regime of Bush, Chaney et. all for showing the American people that the powers that be can not, and must not be trusted. And when put to the test (by a beautiful songstress no less) he buckles under the pressure. He buckled to Cheryl Crowe, now do you see why these guys can't win us a war
The lack of thought and diversion from the issues by the vast majority of the commentors is saddening. The hatred expressed over and over again in these comments by a people who believe they rule the earth is not only terrible, it scares the rest of the world. Open your eyes and stop hating.
Fire away with the anti-Canadian commie stuff if you wish, but maybe you would like to live here for a while, get some free health care and safe high quality public education for your children, and the choice to vote for a number of political parties which limits the concentration of power of the government. And if you doubt that the world is warming, try living in a northern climate where the signs are present to everyone and doubted by few. No political party in Canada doubts climate change, they would not get elected if they did. If you are interested in our politics, try looking at our current issues on the web rather than demonizing the country. And since most of you are really fascinated with how much toilet paper someone uses, travel to India or China and see how most of the 'dirty' world lives. Guess what, no toilet paper!
I know now that global warming is real... it has fried that part of the human brain the facilitates the correct spelling of simple words.
Love and Peace from the left?
This was a traditionally non-political event where policy it put on hold for an evening.
And we wonder why good folks don't want to go into politics?
Rove was probably worried she had only used one piece of toiliet paper with that had?!
But what do I know. Left is right and right is wrong. Always.
Where's RFK when you need him?
The article is severly one sided - I'd read of the incident as reported by a third party and their point of view was not the same. They said that the two saw Rove and decided to confront him in a public forum. Their approch was rude and combative. - On the touching thing: it was reported she grabbed his arm. Either way - Just because she's a pop star doesn't mean anyone would love to be touched by her.
A new sorce has come out to say that Rove talked and was kind to the duo, until Crow started poking him in the chest. That is when he turned to return to his seat and Crow grabbed his arm.
Nicely put Canadian.
To Rove it probably looks like the American people are being led astray by those that would publicly (and accurately) criticize the administration over things like global warming, the U.S. attorney scandal, the war, and all of the other blunders and miscalculations. I can imagine Rove thinking to himself, 'if those darned liberals would just shut up, we could really get things done!' Rather than acknowledging the bitter truth, that his entire philosophical premise is fatally flawed and responsible for the waste of thousands of lives, he chooses to blame people that see the situation for what it is.
karl rove and the blue meanies - wonder how much longer the blue meanies of the world get to run things - thanks ms. crowe and ms. david for challenging such dangerous people - be careful though the world needs you.
Here come the conservatives apologizing for all Bush's cronies.....as usual they attack the character of the person in the article instead of the actual issue
'David and Crowe write that they became 'heartbroken' over the President of the United States and his top advisers deluding themselves that global warming as not being real.'
Perhaps they are also deluding themselves that unicorns and faith healers aren't real too! It never ceases to amaze me how nuts always blame their own imagined delusions of others for failing to believe in their superstitions. This is as true for Crow and her cohorts in the global warming scam as it is with scientologists, christians, muslims, any all others who believe in the supernatural and expect others to follow them.
Crow should learn the facts, learn some real science instead of parroting the propaganda of pseudoscience scammers popularized by socialists for their own goals.
CO2 is entirely insificant as a greenhouse gas on earth, water vapor making up very nearly 100% of it. Water and water alone regulates the earth's temperature. Water cntrols how much of the sun's energy gets to the surface and how much gets out. Of course there are other variables including the sun's output and the internal heat generated by the earth, but in no way is the CO2 even relevant.
As for the USA producing the most 'global warming pollution' *whatever that BS term is supposed to mean), The Philippines and Indonesia each (being mostly water) contribute more than the USA in water vapor, and the sea floor of the Bahamas releases more methane than the US by far as well. How about adding up the active volcanoes in each country for comparison?
The whole global warming hoax is a silly pseudo-science scam bought into by idiots with no clue regarding nature or science following scammers with degrees who make good money selling chicken little scams. There is NO science in the global warming hoax. None what so ever.

Greetings, WOW! I didn't realize they're is so much hatred for Sheryl Crow! Rove can get away with starting an illegal war, kill hundreds of thousands of people, throw my hard earned taxdollars to his cronies, but Ms Crow says something about toilet paper &, well, she's obviously nuts! People, get a grip on reality. Is toilet paper a much more important subject than global warming & war? I'm astounded by the venom put forth by small minded ones. But then again, look who's ruining, I mean running our country. Sincerely neil
Karl Rove and the administration he is part of are all extremely arrogant individuals. They spout the party line -- which is not really the party line, just Rove's Cheny's and Bush's line. I put Bush last, because all of his ideas are someone elses ideas for which he takes credit.
As far as entertainers speaking about their causes, they have every right to speak up, after all, are we the common people in a position to be heard. We should start thinking and acting positively on the global warming issue before we have nothing more to worry about -- a world to live in, wild animals to enjoy, beautiful vistas to enjoy. Wake up Bush, Rove must go or at least shut him up.
Sheryl Crow is freakin awesome!
Global Warming . . . The newest brainwashing for the heads filled with mush. Three squares of toilet paper pretty much sums up the root intelligence of this cause's 'unwashed' minions. Is Karl Rove the anti-christ? Probably not. Is Ms. Crow very bright? Probably not either. Reality is that pollution is bad and it is to all our advantage to clean up the environment as best we can and since the brightest and best minds are either bred or educated in the USA the charge should be lead here. The problem lies with the fear tactics the 'Green' movement employs. Thinking, independent minds realize that the climatic changes of the Earth are historic and real. The rub is whether or not man (who by the way is not almighty) is causing it or the world is simply changing as is has many times over the last million or so years. These dramatic changes recorded in the past by tree rings and ice cores happened well before the ability to track CO2 emmissions. Bottomline, we need to operate in as environmentally friendly a way as possible but without the whithering assault on anyone who disagrees with the flawed (no matter what NPR and the UN say) science & religion of Global Warming.
the 'one piece of tp' comment was odd, for sure, but come on, people with a voice sometimes say stuff like that. Overall, do you think Sheryl Crow is a clean person? I mean, duh, yes of course she is. Also, she does something, besides sell records and sound good. I know when people are ultra green, they seem weird, but overall, she's trying to spread a good message, which is, 'think about how you're living'. There aren't many 'perfect' sounding people trying to represent that, but for God sake's, the woman is far from bizarre, and I certainly would let her touch my arm, and I certainly would have her over for coffee or dinner or whatever. She's alright, she's a good gal. And I don't have to agree with everything she says, but she says enough that I do. How many of your (anyone's) friends have quirks, but you still like and trust them? How many of them are publicly active even though they don't have to be? That's that matters to me. Working on something when you don't personally have to.
Karl Rove is just one more lying, deceitful, crooked member of snotty little prince Georgie's regime. And evidently you people responding to this article are still stupid enough to believe anything that comes out of the White House. Get over the 'one piece of toilet paper' thing. You guys evidently have the maturity of a bunch of 13 year old boys. Not to mention the sexist idiocy coming from people like True Patriot. If you're supporting Bush's murderous rampage, you're not a patriot, you're a traitor.
I would like to set the record straight (Sadilak) Has said Sheryl Crow is Canadian. She IS A FULL BLOWEN U.S. LOONIE LEFT LIBERAL. Born Feb 11 1962 in Kennett Missouri. Sorry to disappoint you. Rick B.C. Canada
The clock is ticking for Karl Rove and his Master W....2008 is almost here..AND FORTUNATELY we will have somebody with a beautiful mind leading this country AND not this old age people..Cheney, Bush & company ..the garbage will be your legacy..
Im not much of a global warming proponent, but I say good for her for standing up to that lying weasel Rove. He's all thats bad about america with comments like 'I dont work for you, I work for the american people' disreguarding the fact that Ms Crow is an american, and just because she doesnt agree with his stance on the global warming thing, its no reason for a guy paid with tax payer money to not at least talk to her about it. He works for us, not the other way around. Until we all stop playing partisan politics in this country, were screwed. The politicians are pitting us against each other so they can continue their corrupt games, bickering back and forth while selling our nationality out from under us, all in the name of politics........... its sickening.
OH PLEASE she said she will be lifting the carpet in the oval office looking for dirt... No-one has lifted that since her husband left for fear what might be under there.
To 'Rick'
When Clinton lied nobody died..enough said..
an appended note: while Sheryl Crow has quirks, I like and respect her, and would let her touch my arm and come over for dinner anytime, etc. That said, I cannot say the same for anyone in Bush's Cabinet. Oh, I'd have a sit down with anyone of them and discuss what I don't like about their choices, as far as one reasonably could, ergo, 'how can you justify all these choices, from the war, to the spending , to the conflict of interest in Haliburton receiving all contracts there, intelligence facts omitted or twisted, 9-11's aftermath on the citizens of Manhattan, and the waves of rescue volunteers there sick or dying - denied Federal aid for health care [Google George Tabb]...' I'd have a lot of questions, I'd ask in a calm tone, I'd try to get as much understanding as possible. But seeing these men and a few women in that cabinet, in action, speaking, over these last several, long years... I do not think I'd any more accept their illogical, suspiciously dark, unexplained, tactical backpedaling and rhetoric. I see no honor in their convictions or actions, I see no accountability for obvious, bloody mistakes and miscalculations, I see no compassion, I see no true Christian values in their touted Christian ideology - I'm not Christian, but I can respect the actual value system, when someone actually practices it, they do not. I see none of the responsibility of elected - and appointed but not elected - leaders. I see a gang, now on the run. Running up a massive dept in cash and blood, with no accounting for how we'll really pay for all that has been set in motion. For the 10 or 30, or 100, or 400,000 people killed in the Middle East (United Nations estimates of peoples killed in Iraq, other than American/Foreign soldiers/workers), with our own 3-4,000 military, etc...
What is this country saying, in its actions? For it seems to be a confusing message, it seems to be bloody chaos. I believe, because it has become bloody chaos. Because things now fit the familiar patterns, of past wars.
After World War I, W.B.Yeats, bright man, said, ''Things fall apart, the center cannot hold.'
He said that after the allies failed to bring the center of stability back, after the war, and extremists then took over German, Italy, and Russia (quoted: Deepak Chopra, 2006, Intent Blog), which became the core of World War II, the cold war, about a century of hard, hard history lessons.
The politics and fighting today, have happened before. The results, once it takes a direction, run along the same lines as before. You can get a really clear idea where all this is going. Its not going to be a clean victory for anyone. We, America, or should I say, the White house, still touts we can have a 'clean' victory, a true military win, where the bad guys stop or are all killed.
In truth, that's impossible. Because the 'bad guys' are a mix of radicals, mixed with indigenous peoples whom don't want us in their back yards, (if you were defending your backyard/family, wouldn't you be... the good guy??), and centuries old religious hatreds between the peoples there.
There is no way to win that. There is no target. It becomes open ended bedlam. Chaos. A meat grinder you can pour money and bullets and bombs and people's lives into forever. It will eat it all. Because it has before.
Everything has happened before. And only because we make it, will happen again.
And that is the historic reality, that causes me so much trouble in buying what anyone in the White Houses, anyone supporting it, says. I see the ship going down. In icy waters. On fire. And the band keeps on playing calmly.
Faulty intelligence over Iraq, desclosing of a CIA agent identity, Iraq war itself, Katrina, FEMa & Brown, contracts to Halliburton, Incopetent Donald Runsfeld ,Harriet Myers, Alberto Gonzalez and the 8 judges crisis, gas price and counting....What a legacy!!...What a Presidency!!
To Hillary for Pres...
Only U.S. citizens... The first world trade center bombing... Then the U.S.S. Cole... Then Bali... Should I go on. Where are the lies... so Saddam has a good hiding place... Iran is really friendly with Iraq maybe look there... Saddam had long range missals when the U.N. went in in 2002. That was against the sanctions but all you LIB'S seem to forget that. He kicked out the inspectors during Clinton I and he did nothing about it. Do you as a country really want to look that weak again by putting in Clinton II. What ever happened to the land of the free and the HOME of the BRAVE. I think they turned tail and turned LIBERAL.
If Sheryl Crow were even anywhere near me she would never, ever have to use any toilet paper what so ever. I'd take care of that problem for her personally.
wooooooohoooooooooobaby...
jeez, i wouldn't think Rove would have a problem with the whole 1 sheet thing since he's a big douche bag anyways.
Ok I'll take this slowly for you... Faulty intel, it was the clinton admin that cut funding and drew a line between the FBI and the CIA... the CIA agent
gee arn't they going to make millions on this oops sorry got side tracked... it was her husband at a dinner party that first said (must have had one martini too many) that his wife was a CIA agent... Katernia well seem to me I read a story a couple of months ago about a woman who just got her power restored from hurrican Andrew (wasn't that during Clintons admin)... Ok sure most admins get rid of judges at the beginning but didn't Clinton relieve a few in the middle of his term right around the monica THING... and the gas prices go and talk to your Arab friends or if thats to far you could ask your senator why there has to be so many different blends across the country that refineries can't keep up this time of year. Rick P.S. oops I forgot the Iraq war wasn't Hillary the LOUDEST for the war stating that her husband was President and would vote for the war....,
GEE I shut up all the Libs time for bed be back later. Rick
Rove and all of the Bush cronies should move to Iraq since it is going so well there. I'm sure the residents would just love having them as neighbors. Can't ruin many natural resources there, we bombed most of them away by now.
Sheryl Crow is not Canadian, you ignorami. She's from Missouri. Get your facts straight.
Sheryl does need to figure out the personal hygene thing but Rove would make any child shrink away in horror by pure instinct. I expect that dogs probably howl when he is near and horses neigh in terror (like in the movie Young Frankenstein). Of course, I don't want to make this personal...
The name's Max, and I'm an artist, with a penchant for rebuilding old houses and my friend's cars. No one special, whom reads a fair bit, and tries to think about what they say. People must think about what they say. Especially officials in the White house, or any Government. Anyone with a public ear, in fact. Reaction is cheap. Thinking and speaking well, is hard. That's why so few do it well.

Shery Crow is NOT Canadian. She was born in 1962 in Missouri. Can we please stop making jokes about toilet paper and bullying and making fun and pay attention to the real issue--Global Warming. The science has been done. No one argues against this any more except politicians. It is happening, increasing beyond anything natural in the past. Wake up. Katrina is only the beginning.
Antique Rice and The Man: you cannot spell. As for Crow, she needs to go back to Canada.
It is fair to say that most of the 'Environmental Leftist' have never looked up the evidence available about this planet and the stages it has progressed through over the millions of years. If they had, they would realize that we are in the midst of another correction.
As to Karl Rove's comment about China, well, my son just returned from studying in China and had the opportunity to visit numerous off the beaten path cities. He provided actual pictorial evidence of how polluted China is with photo's of one city where you could not see more than 2 blocks and thatr was in mid day on a 'sunny' day. He and another student tried to jog one day and could only make it a few blocks before their lungs began to burn from the air pollution.
Perhaps the Environmentals should take a trip to China, go to their polluted cities, lands and water ways, then confront the Chinese government in a large protest, play their guitars, drive their Prius to Tinanamen Square to denounce their pollution. Then take a slowboat back from China, because if you really know the truth, the Environmentals are smoking too much of the green stuff.
Also, do we really need to have Laura David fly on a private jet causing more pollution or Sheryl Crow on the road giving concerts? Just mail it in ladies.
Rove is a criminal, a modern-day Goebbels that should be put in prison. we're done eating is bs.
Since I'm not in the position to confront Mr. Rove himself, I fullheartly give applause to Ms. Crowe! This administration does see 'Green' it comes in the form of Cash. Than
I think it is most likely that Sheryl's birthplace has been forged. Everyone knows she's Canadian and everyone knows Canadians are cannibals at heart. What do you think that 'Cuts like a knife' song was really about?
That being said, Hermann (Rove) Goebbells is clearly German. And Gonzales is clearly French as they are sycophants by nature. All insults intended as insults of course!
One square indeed!
Let's see, The fair and unbiased Mr Martingale used these words to describe the 'combatants.'
The Nazi-like Karl Rove: frosts, fumes, combative, anger flaring, exploded with venom, arguments, spat, regurgitated, hardened, removed from reality, went downhill, deluded, illogical, spoiled child, and tantrum. Whew!
The Mother Teresa-like Sheryl Crowe: asks, reminded him, compelled, heartbroken, reached out, and touched. Sniff, sniff.
Yup, fair and unbiased is the perfect description.
Here's how you use one square. Tear off a square of toilet paper. Fold said paper twice. now the square (folded) is one-fourth its original size. Carefully tear off the inside corner, and set it aside. Unfold the square. you will note a hole in the center of the square where you tore off the corner. Place your index finger through the hole and clean yourself. Pull the square off your finger, cleaning the finger as you go. Throw away the square. Last, use the saved corner to clean your fingernail. Neat, huh?
So, I now know how Sheryl Crow gets by with one Sheet of TP, She wipes her hands on other peoples sleeves and Rove knew it! Another Country performer kicks punted on my list of wacko, liberal performers who think because they have the stage they can speak for the few.......Sheryl Corw, meet the Dixie Bitches, you will soon not be playing country.....
I concur. Sheryl should go back to Canada. I'm sure this somehow connects to her not having three square meals ... but like any decent American, I use enough TP to do the job. Sheryl is a traitor to the American back-country with all this one square talk. She's lost the redneck vote for sure! No way is she welcome in my trailer without a good scrubbing. And who does she think she is to touch Rove in compassion, Jesus? She's lucky he didn't possess her like Linda Blair on a bad hair day.
Karl Rove has established himself as unethical and immoral - he is truly ruled by the adage that the means are justified by the end and the only ends that are important for him to pursue are those that serve his personal benefit. When America removes Rove, Chaney, and Bush, maybe we can gain some level of respect in the World. Personally, I would like to see Rove, Bush, and Chaney tried for fraud and treason, after they are out of office and can no longer hide behind executive privilege.
Unless Kennett, MO was part of Canada on Feb 11, 1962, Sheryl Crow was born in America, making her an American. I am amused at how many times it is asserted that she is Canadian; did Rush claim this, perhaps? He is often mistaken in his facts.
