NEXT TIME, TRY OPENING WITH 'HELLO'

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."

Well! I'm! MC Rove and I'm here to say
Messin' with my supper is not okay
Just tryna get my drink on and eat some chow
But this knowitall ho wants to talk right now

"Step off, trick, this ain't the time or the place"
Then her stanky-ass friend gets all in my face
I'm like, "All I wanna do is have some grub
I got a feelin' I'm not the only schlub"

Blah blah blah, they can't take the hint
I ain't tryna hear it, so I flick 'em like lint
When it's time to eat, I'm not to be disturbed
Step to me, your enthusiasm gets curbed

Byatch!!

P.S. The Goadmore Girls give their version of events. It's good to hear that in the last 20 years, celebrities have narrowed their focus from "We are the world" to "We are the American people."

P.P.S. She really wasn't kidding about the TP thing, was she? Maybe that's why he didn't want her touching him...

P.P.P.S. Another eyewitness account. And I'm struck by this quote from Laurie David: "How hardened and removed from reality must a person be to refuse to be touched by Sheryl Crow?" Speaking of hardened and removed from reality... I was trying to think of a way to finish the joke without saying "butt-crack," but I guess I'm just tired.
