Buried, buried in the New York Times this week was a story about protests during Karl Rove's recent visit to town.
Now In Previews: Political Theatre in the Street:
At one point, as hundreds of guests with invitations waited to pass through velvet barriers to enter the club, a small group of men in bowler hats and women in gowns marched up, chanting, "Four more wars" and "Re-elect Rove."
As the group approached, a man who appeared to be a security agent of some type, was overheard whispering into a microphone: "We've got two groups. One for and one against."
Actually, it was two against. The person was confused by a group that calls itself Billionaires for Bush, a collection of activists who use satire to make a political point. Indeed, members of the Sierra Club, who were protesting on the other side of the street were also confused and began shouting at what they thought was a pro-Bush contingent.
"We want the truth and we want it now!" the Sierra protesters shouted.
The billionaires shouted back, "Buy your own president!"
