I just found this article on "huffingtonpost.com" (it's where you end up on a rainy afternoon after Mr. D has just made you a cup of Caribou Fireside roast French press).
It seems that "the girls" (Crow and David) put their experience in their own words.
They were just a couple of girls "excited" to have an opportunity to speak with a Bush administration person about global warming. They just asked him to take a "fresh" look at the situation and he exploded with venom.
The article reads like a paper written by a couple of freshmen running for student council president.
This is my favorite part of the article:
"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."
Ummmmm, whos' the bully?
