Yesterday, I was indifferent to Sheryl Crow. Today I have learned to loathe her.
First, there’s the Rove incident that Dan posted earlier:
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.”
Ugh. That awful, presumptuous twit.
Then there are these selections from the quotable Crow, as reported today by the BBC:
I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming. Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating…
I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required.
In her war against paper napkins, Crow has also designed a clothing line with a “dining sleeve.”
How removed from reality must a person be to think grown-ups will want to wipe their mouths with their sleeves?
Stupid Sheryl Crow.
If she really wanted to reduce her carbon footprint, why doesn't she never perform again? That way, all the electricity that goes into powering the massive stadium she plays will be pre-emtively saved.
Is she responsible for Lance's uniball?
One square? Are you nuts?
Ari, @2: touche!
I like Sheryl.
I DON'T like Karl.
i'm always surprised when i read an unscripted comment from Rove - i always think of him as a dark lord of the Sith - very mindful, but very very evil. then he turns out to be really uptight.
if you don't want to be touched on the arm by Sheryl Crow you don't like the ladies much. and i'm saying that as a guy who hates her music.
If Sheryl Crow is only using one square of toilet paper these days, I don't think I'd want her touching my arm either.
(Is she also going to suggest saving water and paper towels by limiting hand-washing to only bathroom visits that involve #2?)

"In her war against paper napkins, Crow has also designed a clothing line with a “dining sleeve.”"
Um... Hasn't she ever heard of the old fashioned handkerchief? You can still buy them at most department stores. Heck, you can even get them all fancy with your initials on them! I would think promoting people going back to carrying a good old fashioned hanky in their purse or pocket would be loads easier then designing a clothing line and trying to convince them to wipe their face on their sleeve. Ewww.
do you get to use the sleeve wipe in the bathroom? i.e. does it do double doodie??
One square is plenty, people. Use both sides, OK? God.
Sheryl Crow is funny. I like people who are funny.
Sheryl should design some orange jumpsuits for Rove and his fellow Treasonistas in the WH, so they look good under 24/7 torture sessions at GITMO.
Brandon, you're trying to act superior to Sheryl Crow, and it's not a convincing performance. Whatever her theories on saving the planet, she is still more beautiful, famous, talented, popular, and wealthy than you. If you two were standing next to each other, no one would even notice you were there.
I know, it's a hard pill for a narcissist to swallow.
She should have gone after papter towels. It is ridiculous how people use several sheets just to wipe up a little spill instead of using a sponge or cloth.

Maybe if Sheryl Crow stopped producing shit, the world WOULD produce less toilet paper.
Verbal shit counts, too.
sheryl crow ... whatever.. but man if i was in the same room with karl rove touching his arm would be the LEAST of his concerns..
just sayin..
When I read the whole "dining sleeve/one square" thing it was clear to me that she was kidding. Did anyone else read it that way?
Funny audio here at where a caller explains to Rush the "single square TP technique"
You know it's stupid and not particularly funny, but it seems quite clear she was attempting humor.
