Boy, when Rosie thinks you've gone over the line, you're pretty radical:

"One square! Has she seen my a**?"

And Don Surber has penned a song about it:

All I wanna do, is wipe my bum...

What a gift to the blogosphere.

[Evening update]

Instapundit has more. As I said, a gift.

Now she's saying that it was a joke.

Yeah.

Right.

A joke.

Just like John Kerry's.

[Update a couple minutes later]

Well, you know, I did go back and read the original blog post that set off the kerfuffle, and while I'm not familiar with her other writings or her general blogging style, I'm willing to believe that she was in fact being (or at least attempting to be) humorous (the bit that she added from her brother, about washing the single square, admittedly helped). I know that I've suffered in the past from people taking seriously posts meant to be satirical (though it does help to identify it in the post category). so I'm willing to cut her some slack.

But it seemed like an unusual source of satire on that subject.

So, what do my commenters think? Do we believe her?

Yesterday morning, I'm watching the news, and there's an Earth Day interview with Crow and David. While they are talking about the importance in reducing energy use, the camera has framed the two in front of their tour bus. You know it is their bus, because their logo/face is all over it. Of course, it is running their in idle, with the two of them standing their doing interviews.

Maybe they should try a Prius and turn it off while they get to there destination. That would save gas, which could be used for heating somewhere else, prevent a tree from being used to heat a home, and thus allow more people to wipe the BS they are dropping.

>>Do we believe her?

It was too good a gift to be true, thus i believe her. and the entire blog post is sorta satirical

I think Mary McCarthy's line about Lillian Hellman applies to Rosie: "Every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the'."

Yeah, it's a joke. Not humorous, poorly written and rambling, but a joke nonetheless.

Tongue in cheek? Which cheek?

I agree: a really poorly executed joke that got out of her control and is now turned against her.

It was obviously satire, but now it has entered the political sphere, and all the commentary can conveniently play dumb and take it seriously. Sheryl Crow was playing with fire and got burned. She'll never live this down :)

The memory of Crow's statement is seared, seared into my backside. Of course it's a joke, and who cares. The mistake is to pay attention to these people when they say foolish things. She wants publicity? Fine. But let's give it to her when she says something reasonable, rather than rewarding the foolishness.

Sorry, I have to go with her being serious. Like most out of touch elites I think she really does think her crap doesn't stink and one square would be perfectly adequate for the manna coming out of her ass.

If Crow is joking, it's a joke on Laurie David, who has a track record of complaining about toilet paper.

And if the gossip about David and Crow having a falling out is true, maybe it is a joke on David.

The "dining sleeve" should've been an indication that it wasn't serious.

Of course not. She is working damage control here. Her recent partner in crime, Laurie "I bagged a super rich Hollywood producer" David, was talking about this same toilet paper nonsense over a year ago.

Surely even Larry David's trophy wife can't expect us to hang around a whole year for the punch line!

Crow says: "I also like the idea of not using paper napkins, which happen to be made from virgin wood and represent the height of wastefulness." She then proceeds to talk about "dining sleeves" and using one square of TP--and it's a joke? Where's the set-up? And what was the punchline?

The entertainment world is full of this loony nonsense. Crow's the joke.

No way; not buying. I didn't see anything even remotely amusing about it, other than maybe she was saying her brother was even more idealistic than she.

Actually it's a shame that fools like her and Ms. David have become the poster bimbos for Global warmening. Where's Pam Anderson when u need her

In my opinion, the only thing that was a joke about the original post was her brother's response. He was clearly being sarcastic and it went right past her! I've seen that kind of response from true believers before and it can be quite entertaining. I'd be willing to bet he does this kind of thing to her all the time. If I'm right, I think I would like this guy.
