They were also holding protest signs, except that theirs read, "Rove is Innocent." Everyone was nervous as they approached closer to the police who were guarding the red carpet entrance to the hotel. One of the officers reached down to his walkie talkie and reported in. "We've got two protest groups here," he stated. "One against . . ." Then the cop looked over the assembled mob of fake bankers and socialites. ". . . and one for." Code Pink and the other protesters were herded into a designated "protest zone" across the street and out of view of the cameras. The Billionaires for Bush, however, were placed right next to the red carpet. Boyd started laughing as he told me that multiple reporters, taking them at face value, interviewed them and asked, "You say Karl Rove is innocent. What is he accused of?" Message achieved."
