What a freaking moron!

From The BBC:

Singer Sheryl Crow has said a ban on using too much toilet paper should be introduced to help the environment.

Crow has suggested using "only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required".

The 45-year-old, who made the comments on her website, has just toured the US on a biodiesel-powered bus to raise awareness about climate change.

She teamed up with environmental activist Laurie David for the shows.

The pair targeted 11 university campuses to persuade students to help combat the world's environmental problems.

"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," Crow wrote.

"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."

Now if you've read this far you know that it goes without saying that Sheryl Crow is an imbecile but you need to consult The Smoking Gun to find out that she is also a hypocrite (but you could have guessed, couldn't you?):

When it comes to Sheryl Crow's touring requirements, if it's Tuesday, this must be Bombay. Gin that is. The rock star's performance contract includes specific day-to-day instructions on what kind of booze Sheryl needs in her dressing room (TSG has never seen such attention to detail in any other concert rider we've posted). For each show, Crow requires 12 bottles of Grolsch beer, 6 bottles of "local" beer, and a bottle each of "good Australian Cabernet" and "good Merlot." As for the harder stuff, promoters are directed to purchase specific booze depending on what day of the week the concert falls, as the below rider excerpt reveals. Additionally, when the global warming warrior hits the road, her touring entourage (and equipment) travels in three tractor trailers, four buses, and six cars. Now that's a carbon footprint!

Now I could care less what kind of beer and likker she likes (personally I only drink hard likker on days of the week ending with "Y"), but this business about all those eighteen-wheelers and buses and cars! Don't she know that them things all eat gas and crap carbon dixoide?

We'll have to add her name to the Left-Wing Hypocrite's Wall of Shame along with Algore whose mansion uses so much electricity that TVA had to build three new coal fired power plants and strip mine an entire county in West Virginia to supply it and John (The Breck Girl) Edwards whose "two Americas" are divided between those who can afford giant mansions and their neighbors who have to sell their property and move away because their property taxes are driven up so much that they can't afford to pay them.
