At Last, A Truly Polite Protest
Posted by The Editors | 05:50 PM

A very ruly pack of "Billionaires for Bush" was spotted Tuesday afternoon walking down Park Ave., bearing such signs as "Free the Enron 7" and "My Tax Cut: $135,994,000; Yours?"

The nattily-dressed dozen -- several men wore tuxedos, and the women were decked out in pearls and tiaras -- crossed 50th St. and appeared across from the Waldorf-Astoria hotel just as delegates were streaming out, en route to various events around town.

In keeping with this confluence of good behavior, no clashes broke out between the Billionaires and scads of young Republicans patiently waiting to get through Waldorf security. How well-heeled of everyone. -- From Meg Kinnard, NationalJournal.com

Sounds similar to the "Trial Lawyers for Kerry" who chased ambulances all over Boston, bearing such signs as "Our Take From the Tobacco Settlement: $30,000,000,000; Yours?"
