On Monday morning, the news media continued to buzz about their weekend activities: the White House Correspondents' Association dinner and the subsequent after-parties. While few were taken in by Rich Little's comedy routine, CNN and Fox News both devoted morning airtime to the much reported argument between White House Adviser Karl Rove on one side, and Laurie David, a producer of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, and musician Sheryl Crow on the other.

"He got immediately hostile, and very combative, and the conversation went downhill from there," David told CNN.

Two pundits addressed the subject on Fox. Republican commentator Rich Galen referred to "showbiz-types" using the "Alec Baldwin theory of behavior" and bringing up politics at an inappropriate time and place.

But Democratic strategist Julie Roginski fired back. "It's never the time and place for these guys," she said.
