Sheryl Crow Vs. Karl Rove
Sheryl Crow is picking on Karl Rove…Maybe because Sheryl is too smart to pick on “Danger Cheney?” So Sheryl Crow is on this quickie tour with Laurie David right now to promote global warming awareness. (Kinda like every other tour in music right now).
Crow and David made a stop at the White House to check out the annual Correspondents’ Dinner. They were excited to chat with Rove about America’s role in global warming, but Rove was much less excited. Rove is apparently uninterested in talking about climate change. Possibly “M.C. Rove” isn’t such a fan of Sheryl Crow’s music. But hopefully he likes to “Soak Up The Sun,” because things are quickly heating up in the world of climate control.
Their exchange, according to
Rolling Stone:
“After asking the pallid political leader to “consider taking a fresh look at the science of global warming” things descended into high school cafeteria-style melodrama. After bantering back and forth about U.S. environmental policy (the girls reminded Rove that America leads the world in global warming pollution yet are doing the least about it, Rove shot back like a recalcitrant teenager, saying that China’s worse) Rove attempted to abandon the conversation and go back to his table. When Crow reached out to touch Rove’s arm, imploring him to stay, Rove short-circuited. “Don’t touch me.” “You can’t speak to us like that, you work for us,” Crow retorted. “I don’t work for you, I work for the American people,” Rove spat. “We are the American people,” Crow apparently reminded him.”
Now Sheryl, we know you’re single but you don’t have to act desperate by reaching out to touch M.C. Rove!
