Karl Rove frosts and fumes at Sheryl Crowe - People

Republican strategist and often referred to as the brain behind the Bush throne, Karl Rove, had a run-in with Green queen Sheryl Crowe and her partner in cause, Laurie David, at the Correspondents' dinner.

The White House Correspondents Dinner had an array of guests from Sanjaya to Sheryl.

When the songstress was introduced to Rove, she asked him about Global warming issues, and according to Crow and David on their posted Huffington Blog, "he immediately got combative. And it went downhill from there."

Said David and Crow:"We reminded 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."

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.

According to David, "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?"

David claims Crowe retorted: "You can't speak to us like that, you work for us."

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."
