Laurie David and Sheryl Crow confront Rove over Global Warming

[never cry wolf]

At the Correspondents dinner last night.

Last night Thelma and Louise drove the bus off the cliff or at least into the White House Correspondents Dinner. 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.

We asked Mr. Rove if he would consider taking a fresh look at the science of global warming. Much to our dismay, he immediately got combative. And it went downhill from there.

----------------------

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? Unphased, 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."

At that point Mr. Rove apparently decided he had had enough. Like a groundhog fearful of his own shadow, he scurried to his table in an attempt to hibernate for another year from his responsibility to address global warming. Drama aside, you would expect as an American citizen to be able to engage in a civil discussion with a public official. Instead, Mr. Rove was dismissive, condescending and quite frankly a bully.

Go get him Sheryl!

1. Now why didn't we get to see THAT shit on CSPAN last night? nt

[Shoelace]

98. UPI just put this story up - wonder what KO will say?

they had a totally different take on it though.
Go figure! KO should be interesting tomorrow nite though.

http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Entertainment/2007/04/23/r... /

[MADem]

109. Well, UPI is the once-venerated, now ruined news service that Helen Thomas quit after

Rev. Moon, who also owns the Washington Times, bought it and ruined it. It's a right wing tool--not really a tool, more like a right wing 'blunt instrument' nowadays.

[Shoelace]

111. ahhh, that figures - the Moonies again

Gawd, how they do buy up our media. Rats, all of them!

[SoFlaJet]

2. I guess he thinks

he only has to work for the 29% of the population that still supports them....and THAT my fellow Americans is what you call doing a LOUSY JOB

[Democrat 4 Ever]

4. Shows what a coward KKKarl really is. He cannot have a civil

discussion with two people and must run and hide anytime he isn't surrounding by sycophants and toadies. He pulled out that old chestnut, "I work for the American people." is extremely lame for DimSon's Brain. Not so quick on his feet in the light of day. He isn't smart, just corrupt and mean and amoral.

He knew he didn't stand a chance against two smart women, he is so used to addressing the 29% "morans" who believe any BS he dishes up so he ran. I'm surprised he didn't yell for security and have them removed.

[SoFlaJet]

6. Not only is he a coward

but he's also a lousy dancer....

[tblue37]

31. That is an important point.. He gets a lot of credit for being so politically

brilliant, but he really isn't. He wins not because his politics are clever but because there are no moral or ethical limits to what he is willing to do. I could get ahead fast, too, if I had no conscience to prevent me from doing absolutely anything at all to defeat and destroy anyone or anything that got in my way.

[Cha]

52. rove is bush's monster..

the bushits can have 'im.

[volstork]

64. AMEN, tblue!

[Divine Discontent]

93. Sheryl you so truly ROCK!

WOWWWWWWWWWW! Excellent way to say what I feel, and lots of us feel! He's a coward, like Sheryl Crow was going to hurt him, she merely tried to get the weasel to address her question w/o running off like a coward (that he is), and he got snippy b/c that's all he could do to avoid it... he's an IDIOT. She's amazing!

[tblue37]

105. Thanks. I feel that a lot of Dems are scared silly by Rove,

but that he is like the Wizard of OZ. Once you pull away the curtain, you realize it is all tricks, though in the case of Rove, the tricks are all dirty.

[terip64]

3. kick and recommend. What a big baby Rove is! n/t

[formercia]

77. Scared off by a couple of girls?

musta had a flashback. 'fraid they would beat you up, Karl?

[Shakespeare]

78. Kindly don't equate being female with being weak, or less of a threat.

And do not call these two women "girls."

85. You took the words right out of my....

well now. Thanks for having a sense of humor!

[Shakespeare]

86. I'm just fine, but your comments are offensive.

You can lay off the bullshit personal insults, too.

[formercia]

104. My reference was to the time Rove was beaten up by a girl

I'm sure there were many who understood my humor.


The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

[MADem]

114. I missed the deleted comment, but what you say is true--Karl WAS beaten up by a little girl

She was, apparently, a fierce Democrat, or Catholic, little girl....or both. According to Karl:

As long as I can remember, I’ve always loved politics, at the age of 9 I put a Nixon bumper sticker on the wire basket in the front of my bicycle. Unfortunately the little Catholic girl down the street was a couple years and about 20 pounds on me. She was for Kennedy.

When she saw me on my bike with my bumper sticker for Nixon, she put me on the ground, flattened me out and gave me a bloody nose,

Despite that beating I never lost interest in politics.

[formercia]

119. Obviously, he's still afraid of agressive female Democrats.

Nancy, take note.

[Flubadubya]

5. My wildest dream come true...

is to see this slimy bastard get what he deserves - nothing more, nothing less.

I just wonder if I will ever get to witness the event. Sigh...

[SoFlaJet]

8. Never happen....

the photo-shopped picture of him being "frogmarched out of in handcuffs" like Joe Wilson once said will never happen with Bush in WH...still,how bad is their eternal damnation-a-coming? I would HATE to be Bush,Cheney,Rice,Rove,Fredo,Rummy,Perle,Wolfie, and even Powell-who sold HIS soul at the UN that day-and clearly regreted it immediately afterwards.The ONE person who got out with dignity in tact is Christy Todd Whitman-the rest? Hades-bound

[jgraz]

14. Nice fantasy, but it lets us all off the hook too easily

KKKarl and the rest of BushCo will only suffer the consequences of their actions if WE MAKE IT HAPPEN.

[tblue37]

32. The fact that they don't worry about what price they will pay in the afterlife

strongly suggests that they don't really beleive in it or in any of the other religious BS they spout to keep the fundies in their corner.

[Missy M]

7. What an arrogant bastard Rove is....

if he works for me then I want his ass fired.

[NoSunWithoutShadow]

9. K & R (and more from the Huffington Post)

We felt compelled to remind the senior White House advisor that the US 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.

We felt compelled to remind him that the research is done and the results are in (www.IPCC.ch ). 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?)

At some point during his ramblings, we became heartbroken to think that`the President of the United States and his top adivsors have partially built a career on global warming not being real. We have been telling college students across the country for the past two weeks that government does not change until people demand it... well, listen up folks, everyone had better get a lot louder because the message clearly is not getting through.

[DemReadingDU]

10. This was mentioned on the Washington Journal

Thanks for the link!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. I turned on the rerun of the dinner and watched for a few minutes, and saw Laurie's husband in

the audience and wondered what the hell was he doing there. Now I know why they went. It solves that puzzle.

As to Rove...he was obviously the kid who was picked on in school, and I think that's why he gets so paranoid at confrontation. His life has been his revenge.

[Berry Cool]

18. Yeah, I saw Sheryl and her friends coming in

and showing off their "cancer bracelets" and whatnot with delight...I thought "What the hell? Have they sold themselves down the river?"

[global1]

35. Rove Is The Cho Of The *Co Administration.......

what he is doing to this country and to the world is his VT massacre.

[cascadiance]

72. For a minute I thought you meant Margaret Cho...

... I was going to say, that he didn't have much of a sense of humor, as evidenced with what's quoted here to be considered seriously her peer! His idea of humor is biting the heads off of small animals from earlier reports... Not what I had in mind, but sounds more in line with the other "Cho" you mention here!

[Buzz Clik]

12. Er, uh oh. Karl is becoming unbalanced.

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."

Don't touch me? To Sheryl Crow? MC Rove's bolts are just a leeeeetle too tight.

(did I just say that?)

[mcg]

39. "I don't believe in your war, Mr. Bush!"

From http://www.bartcop.com/1759.htm

Nice t-shirt. She could touch me anytime.

[B3Nut]

110. I can dig Sheryl Crow...

I saw her sing at a John Kerry rally in Madison. She also was once quoted as saying "the Hammond B-3 is the sexiest instrument." She knows her way around a B-3, for sure. She scored cool points with me bigtime for that, seeing as I'm a B-3 player myself.

Todd in Cheesecurdistan

[mcg]

118. Hammond organs - very nice! I've got a Roland keyboard,

it doubles as an electric piano (nice weighted keys) and a synthesizer. I haven't played it in a while, being a casual amateur. I'd like to get back to playing it, even though I'm not that good, it really helps enhance one's appreciation for music.

[misanthrope]

42. While I despise Karl Rove...

....to think everyone shold grovel at the feet of Sheryl Crow is a stretch, too. I'm not much of a fan.

Sheryl's victims

[salin]

45. More to point, Rove has a public reputation for being affable,

and not letting people seeing him sweat. I think I have seen him refered to as, believe it or not, somewhat disarming.

His reaction does sorta suggest that he is on the edge (eg not in his old comfort zone.)

[misanthrope]

50. True enough or probably, more accurately,...

...reveals that the "affable" image is little more than veneer. When you catch him off guard, his actual persona surfaces and it ain't pretty.

I think you could easily take the "blossom" off his Oval Office nickname and it would be dead on.

[Cha]

54. Thanks for pointing that out, salin!

Looks to me like rove bit off more than he can chew without choking on the mother of all pretzels.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

65. Indeed, one of my friend met him at the airport

and says he was extremely affable, "working the room".

This guy is is no way a fan of Rove, and this was back right after 2004 election, when Rove was flying high, but he was impressed with Rove's ability to work the whole gate area and meet everyone.

Ugh.

[Cha]

53. No one has said anyone has to "grovel

at Sheryl Crow's feet"..just being polite at the washington press club dinner would be enough..but that's way too tough for the fucking asshole AKArl rove.

[misanthrope]

81. Laurie David's quote...

..."How hardened and removed from reality must a person be to refuse to be touched by Sheryl Crow?" I bet Kevin Gilbert's surviving family and mates would take exception to that statement.

I have no doubt Karl showed his ass, however my life experiences have taught me, "It takes two to tango" and, "There are usually three truths to every story. Your truth, my truth and the whole truth."

My bet is that Laurie was probably a bit confrontational herself and Rove took the excuse to ramp it way up like the snivelling ass he is.

[Shakespeare]

82. Kevin Gilbert is responsible for what happened to Kevin Gilbert.

What a nasty, baseless suggestion.

[fudge stripe cookays]

96. Um....

Did you even read the link? Sheryl Crow is a music-stealing bitch. While using the stuff on the record was bad enough, calling it hers in public shows real chutzpah. And naming her album after HIS musical project? I can't even begin to describe how much she nauseates me.

I wasn't a fan of hers before, but after reading that link, NOTHING she does impresses me. Even this.

[Shakespeare]

112. I'm very well acquainted with the history.

I'm agnostic as far as Crow is concerned, but from what I understand, there were problems on both sides (especially as it concerns that album, and also as it concerns the involvement of David Baerwald--whom I DO admire--and David Ricketts). But Gilbert was a horribly self-destructive person. To suggest that she was somehow responsible for his death is just outrageous.

[fudge stripe cookays]

115. We'll have to agree to disagree then.

I have been where he is.

All it takes is one person doing something as incredibly self-centered and cruel as she did to push you that little bit more over the edge. He might have been able to hang on if she hadn't appeared in public claiming credit for stuff that wasn't hers.

I love David Baerwald's work. It's unfortunate that she has decided to co-opt so much of others' art for her own. I couldn't stand her whiny voice before, but now I really can't fathom her fame.

[tomp]

94. i suspect so as well...

...and i also do not wish to be touched by sheryl crow. not impressed by her at all.

[Patchuli]

84. One sided stories, I'd say

It would be interesting to hear her side. As for Rove? That's about the only time he will ever get touched by a rock and roll star! I don't "grovel" for anyone, not even the Beatles! but I am appreciative to Sheryl for doing what she did.

[C_U_L8R]

15. Probably what he says to his wife each night

as he dreams of his "Mandate", with Bush.

[Hersheygirl]

16. Please don't lump the likes of Karl Rove with groundhogs,

Being from PA, Puxatony Phil would be highly insulted by that comparison. I would compare him to a rat.

[Forrest Greene]

63. Is There Something Wrong

...with Rats?!?

[AZBlue]

92. I agree. I also think calling Bush a chimp is insulting to all chimpanzees!

There are few things despicable enough to be compared to either one of those jerks.

[Missy Vixen]

17. No, he actually doesn't work for "us"

He works for the RNC.

I'm also sorry this little confrontation didn't make it onto the CSPAN coverage of the dinner, because Americans needed to see it.

Julie

[tyedyeto]

71. Yes he does work for the American people...

[jeff uppy]

97. Two Million, Six Hundred Thrity Eight Thousand, & Two Hundred

dollars per year in utterly wasted taxper money on that page! Wow.

[tex-wyo-dem]

19. Poor KKKarl's just a little testy lately and is prone to tantrums...

apparently his wet Machiavellian dream of an autocratic "permanent Republican majority" is not going so well lately.

[tblue37]

33. Yes, his inability to control his nastiness in public does suggest

that he is under a lot of pressure. Maybe he has to count missing emails just to get himself to sleep at night.

BTW, if Fitz does reopen the Plame investigation, Rove's immunity deal is broken by his failure to turn over all those emails.

[porphyrian]

20. Yeah, rove is a piece of shit, for anyone who needed further proof. - n/t

[RestoreGore]

21. Thank you to Laurie and Sheryl!

Don't forget to disinfect.

[mcg]

30. Stop Global Warming Virtual March

http://www.stopglobalwarming.org /

[RestoreGore]

60. Have been marching since it began. Thanks!

[Hardrada]

102. I don't know that one.

What key is it in?

[CBHagman]

22. The Washington Post covered this in print but not online.

I found it rather disturbing that the online edition contains pap about the comedy (mostly the lack of it) at last night's event but carefully excludes references to the confrontation described above.

[never cry wolf]

26. Here's what the Post had online

Five graphs:

Global warming was the talking point last night at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner when singer Sheryl Crow and "Inconvenient Truth" producer Laurie David walked over to Table 92 at the Hilton Washington to chat with Karl Rove -- and the resulting exchange was suitably heated.

"I am floored by what I just experienced with Karl Rove," David reports. "I went over to him and said, 'I urge you to take a new look at global warming.' He went zero to 100 with me. . . . I've never had anyone be so rude."

Rove's version: "She came over to insult me and she succeeded."

Things got so hot that Crow stepped in to defuse the situation and then got into it with Rove herself. "You work for me," she told the presidential adviser, according to singed bystanders. "No," was his response. "I work for the American people."

News of the dust-up filtered quickly through the room. Some witnesses said David was very aggressive with Rove; a shaken Crow later said that Rove was "combative and unresponsive."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/20...

[CBHagman]

37. It's back up, then.

I see they note that there was a correction, and perhaps that's why they removed it. But I searched pretty thoroughly using keywords like "Sheryl," "Rove," and "Vitriol," and nothing would come up. It must have been temporarily down.

[KharmaTrain]

23. Stand By For The Right Wing Shit Storm...Whorie Kurtz Is On The Case

Ah...right on cue...

How dare someone question the all powerful Karl. The hate radio world lives for this shit. Be assured Mrs. David & Ms. Crowe are now officially "bull-dykes" and that these two women "assaulted" Rove and wanted to make a scene in front of the DC Press corp. We'll hear how they are every dirty name in the book and they'll be able to re-run all their favorite slams.

Yep...Whorie's already painting the "whacko" picture...how dare someone question the all mighty Rove and make a scene at a corporate media whorefest.

[burythehatchet]

25. This pig should not be able to walk in public without being accosted

It's the duty of every citizen to humiliate him at every opportunity.

[Cha]

55. I know it's

tempting to call rove a "pig", and with full apologies to pigs everywhere..but pigs are intelligent, useful animals whereas rove is a fucking murdering, lying, cheatin', stealin', venom filled bushmonster.

[burythehatchet]

61. Thoink you for the reminder.

[Cha]

66. No, thoink you!

[The Wizard]

76. And that's why he's pissed off

He knows he can never go out in public again without a disguise and body guards. His life as a free man is over, a prisoner of his own design. Fuck Ku Klux Karl. Ridicule him into History's dust bin. People should start asking him if he prefers thickness or length or when he expects to become the toss salad man.

[johnfunk]

27. How DARE those radical Green hussies ruin Rove's night at the Lapdog Dinner!

Why, I'm just clutching my pearls...

I loved this detail:

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?)

Karl's merely ahead of the curve here! Best we get used to kowtowing to our Maoist overlords given his boss's failure to protect our nation's economy and security against the emerging megapower...

[edhopper]

28. About the touching thing

Ms.s Crow and David do not realize that Karl Rove's skin burns at the touch of a human.
They are very lucky he did not infect them with his bite.

[Jcrowley]

29. This is instructive

Some people mistakenly think that these people can be reasoned with or that civility will be of use with these folks. It is thought that "we should not sink to their level" but that disguises the nature of what and who we are facing and what is asked of us. These people must be confronted aggressively. You cannot reason with a fascist.

[Morgana LaFey]

69. Precisely -- nor with

lunatics and madmen.

[DURHAM D]

34. "Don't touch me" What is he the Queen ?

Oh wait - yes, he is a queen. That pompous ass...

[tomp]

95. no one has a right to touch you without your permission...

...except the police when they're arresting you. it's called assault. let's touch him with a subpoena instead.

[Hamlette]

38. Wow, this sounds like what Bolton said on Jon Sewart: we work for those who elected us.

We should start a movement that you don't have to pay taxes if you voted for "the other guy".

That way, Bolton and Rove are right: they work for those who voted for them and owe the rest of us nothing. It would also get more people to the polls.

[jasmeel]

40. Amen! This response from Rove sickens me. What a child!

[riverdeep]

87. Yes, let the 30 percent pay for the war

[librechik]

41. Karl Works for the American People (Republicans) not you Dems (the enemy)

couldn't have said it plainer.

[WinkyDink]

80. EXACTLY how he meant it.

[NashVegas]

44. Typical Freeper Response

He loves doing the shouting, but when someone calls him on his shit, he can't hack it.

[Kadie]

46. Story is now at Yahoo News

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070422/ap_en_ce/global_war...

[Booster]

47. Everybody get over to Yahoo and vote this story up. More

people need to see it.

[Faygo Kid]

48. Park his butt in a seat before the Senate Judiciary Committee

It's time to hear from the real attorney general, Karl Rove.

[Rex]

49. The Karl does NOT like to be touched by females or males of the

human race. Their molecular residue bothers The Karl.

[Cha]

51. Thank you, Sheryl and Laurie..especially Sheryl

for "touching" rove and automatically needing to be detoxified.

Most of us could have predicted bush's brain would have done that ..he's so fucking predictable but these women made a valiant attempt to be civilized to the bush monster.

[NastyDiaper]

56. Rove was mad because Crow used a stick...

..to touch him.

If you have to flip a turd, you don't use your hands!

Dog owners know what I'm talking about.

gg Laurie and Sheryl! I hope this story catches msm.

[SecularMotion]

57. Sounds like a case of "Rove Rage"

I'd expect to see the number of these incidents increase in direct correlation to the number of subpoenas issued.

[femrap]

58. All KKKarl knows is how to

attack and bully. And I'm beginning to think that he has some major issues with women.

[shenmue]

59. Way to remind him of the truth.

"We are the American people"--you tell him!

[formercia]

62. No place to hide Karl

and soon, there won't be a hole deep enough in this Solar System to conceal his skanky ass.

[CoffeeCat]

67. Crow should have grabbed her guitar,

perched herself on Rove's table and started singing, "I think a change...could
do you good. I said....a change...could do you good..."

[nini]

68. Is anyone really surprised by this?

He's a first class arrogant piece of shit -he's proved it a million times with how he's fucked this country over.

He's a perfect match for his W.

[degreesofgray]

70. Sheryl Crow can grab my arm anytime (eom)

*

[ClusterFreak]

73. MC Rove.

Miserable Coward Rove, that is.

[cascadiance]

75. Perhaps Rick James' spirit is "rappin'" Rove now!

Before Rick James passed on, he trashed a signatured guitar that Sheryl Crow had left at Yahoo's Launch studios in L.A. a few years ago. Rove seems to be carrying on this tradition of going after Ms. Crow and being a "Super Freak"!

[orleans]

74. to the tune of a popular children's song

rove is such a dick
he is just a pr*ck
hi ho the derry-o
they all just make me sick

[Lint Head]

83. The son of a bitch doesn't work for me!

[riverdeep]

88. Actually, this doesn't surprise me

The number of times a high white house official has had to face an unfiltered public in the last six years, is exactly zero. Truly unfiltered-hasn't happened. They are scared to death of the random nature of facing the people. Like the 'town hall meeting' the other day. Everyone a good Bushie, every question pre-screened-it's disgusting.

[BrklynLiberal]

89. Rove is SUCH A PIG!!!! in so many different meanings of the word.

[Strelnikov_]

90. One confident in their position does not react this way. They are stressed.

Consider the deterioration in the Chimps appearance in the last 6 months.

They know the whole shit house (Raygun economy) is about to go up in flames, and that the proles will be coming with pitchforks when gas hits $5/gal and inflation hits 10%+, and there is nothing they can do about it except divert and spin.

And with the Dems having control of Congress, they can not longer control the entire message out of DC

They are cornered.

Beware cornered rats.

[misanthrope]

101. If the dire and chaotic scenario you draw transpired...

...the Beltway Dems best be nervous since, as fellow members of the ruling elite, their heads would be on the block alongside Republicans.

All hyperbole aside, I can't help feeling there are very frightening times in store over the approaching decades.

[AZBlue]

91. Sheryl abruptly responded, "You can't speak to us like that, you work for us."

I'm running out and buying any Sheryl Crow CD I don't already have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

99. He works for Bush, not us.

and apparently he is a pissy little man.

[Oilwellian]

100. Rove had a full-fledged pissypot tantrum

I sure hope it's on film. Bravo to Sheryl & Laurie for putting the punk on the spot.

By the way, did anyone catch this photo of Wolfowitz and Thompson's young wife?

[lefador]

103. The old fart sure does have a type...

He dated a bimbo country signer half his age before marrying his newest trophy wife. It seems this lady finds power more attractive than physical appearance, and he has grandchildren by now. I guess between the top 4 GOP presidential hopefuls we have a total of almost a dozen marriages. And these are the virtuosos who want to shovel their "moral values" down our collective throats? No, thank you... Gays ain't the biggest threat to the institution of marriage; GOP presidential candidates seem to offer a bigger threat to such "holiest" of institutions.

Screw the lot of them...

Both Rove and Bush are just wolves in sheep's clothing, they play the "affable/lovable/joyful" frat boy charade to a t... Confront them head on and watch the facade disappear and the ghoulish underskin emerge in full technicolor.

The fact that all that 30% of mostly rednecks and hillbillies still think that they have a chance to have a beer with a Conneticut-boarding school attending, Yale and Hardvard legacy accepted, trust fund wasting, daddy coat tails ridding sociopat is a testament to the smoke and mirrors job performed on the American people by the so-called liberal media. The MSM in this country is akin to a battered/abused wife, taking all sorts of abuse through the liberal media meme by all the GOP spin doctors, while doing all the biding of the right wing elites in an attempt to earn their approval only to be abused yet again. Journalism at this point rates lower in my steem than prostitution. Unlike journalists, whores for the most part didn't chose their line of work...

106. "I don't work for you, I work for the American people."

Hey ASSHOLE ... they are some of THE AMERICAN PEOPLE that YOU work for ... DUH!

113. I guess that speaks to his Rush-induced thinking that "liberals aren't Americans!"...

I was waiting for that response from him, but he probably knew that he wasn't speaking to Rush's audience where he might have said something like that.

107. This should be kept up, definately proof of how removed this cabal

is towards Americans as a whole...this latest stunt should not be ignored, watching the msm this am has proven the rove memo has been sent out, destroy these women's credibility pronto...



Heard some zingers from all three networks already attempting to do a dixie chicks on both women.

108. Keep in mind who the "witnesses" were to this little exchange -

they're at the WH Correspondents Dinner. You know, the ones who work for the BIG media conglomerates, the ones who don't bite the hand that feeds. And - what's "aggressive" BTW? Some folks mistake 'aggressive' for being assertive.

116. It was my impression...

Laurie & Sheryl wrote this piece. I am curious though about who invited them since they aren't part of the media.

117. Did anyone notice NBC edited our their response to

Rove's assertion that he works for the American People. They chopped the crap out of the clip and skipped their response of "we are the American People", apparently NBC doesn't believe so. I didn't see the reporting of this incident on the other networks.
