Karl Rove vs. Sheryl Crow/Laurie David ****

Did you hear about this one?

The annual White House Correspondents Dinner was held weekend before last. This is as close as Washington gets to celebrity with politicos rubbing elbows with some of the Hollywood elite. There's usually a roasting of the President which is always fun, but it's all pretty G rated, and one of the few events where the Powers That Be in Washington can meet in the aisle and have a good laugh.

But Karl Rove was NOT laughing this year.

Apparantly, according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., it went down like this.

The Dynamic Environmental Duo Sheryl Crow and Laurie David were in town on their bio-diesel cross-country tour. While at the dinner, the women attempted to chide Rove into a friendly environmental discussion. They were charming. He was rude. Rumors are flying that he literally spat on them. He turned his back on them and walked away.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

As Kennedy said, "It was a very strange thing to watch, and a sad thing to think the government is being run by, you know, somebody like that."

HERE, here!

And might I say, so typical of many conservatives on this issue. I hiss at you.

So, Sheryl and Laurie, four stars to you for approaching this monsterously pathetic excuse for a man and trying to have a charming discussion with him. For attempting to educate him, or heaven forbid, engage in public debate. And four stars to your bio diesel tour. And four stars for the minnimal toilet paper usage, Sheryl, but may I ask, how often do you flush???

This is hilarious!! Those two are very brave ladies. I know I couldn't do it.

Have you heard of the comedian Lewis Black? He talked about how he had to do his standup for Cheney and when he got a standing ovation, he felt like a whore. It's hilarious.
How's the "no flushing" working out for you?
