FRANKLIN, TN — Karl Rove, senior advisor to former president George W. Bush, was signing copies of his new book Courage and Consequence when a woman in a flowered blouse who stood in line for an autograph pulled handcuffs out of a bag, laid them on a podium and told Rove he was under arrest for “war crimes.”

Another woman popped up from behind a bookshelf holding a pink sign that read “Jail Karl Rove” and a pair of men unrolled a banner that said “Jail Karl Rove for war crimes.”

Rove handled the situation calmly, stepping out of the way while a security guard and a Franklin Police officer escorted the protesters out of the store. One of the protesters was placed in handcuffs and put in the back of a police car after sitting down in front of Borders.

Jane Steinfels Hussain, the woman who presented Rove with handcuffs said she was with Code Pink and the Nashville Peace Coalition, groups that oppose the war in Iraq.

Teh Rove has talked about these protesters before. He laughs at them mostly as harmless crazies.
