Karl Rove at his finest

Here is the account by Laurie David and Sheryl Crow of their "conversation" with that gentleman of gentlemen, Karl Rove:

... 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."

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. ...

Have you ever been in a really bad mood in a room full of people you don't like and who are outwardly hostile towards you. You are really hungry and you just want to get to your table and eat, when all of a sudden, out of the blue, someone reaches out and touches you.
