WEST ALLIS, Wis. - President Bush (news - web sites) on Friday wished Bill Clinton (news - web sites) "best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery."
"He's is in our thoughts and prayers," Bush said at a campaign rally.
Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them.
Bush offered his wishes while campaigning one day after accepting the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention in New York. Clinton was hospitalized in New York after complaining of mild chest pain and shortness of breath.
Bush recently praised Clinton when the former president went to the White House for the unveiling of his official portrait. He lauded Clinton for his knowledge, compassion and "the forward-looking spirit that Americans like in a president."
And while I'm here. Why do conservatives keep going on Spitball with Chrissy Matthews. Can't they just tell him he isn't relavent anymore and that it isn't worth their time?
Great kenth! Get it to Brit, Shawn, and the MRC!

What are you some kind of Democrat?
yes. Sorry about that.
Here's the link to the original (ugly lying) "report". (Sorry for the copy and paste.)

hugs, Marty
I'm sure when ClinTOON is released from the hospital, he'll be sure to mention the story about Republicans booing him despite the fact it didn't happen. Aside from the mattress mambo thats all Clinton does is blame Republicans for everything.
But let me wish him well and a speedy recovery.
I suppose you'll get a cease-and-desist from these hacks now.
Burns me up.
Yeah the dems are such liars. They make mountains out of non mole hills as often as opportunity permits.
That's true. It will give Hannity days of material. If I hear
Al Gore scream once more on Hannity, I just might have to seek professional help.
BTTT
yes. Sorry about that.
Because it's starting to dawn on them that, if they want to look FAIR, they'll have to spend months making as many mean-spirited jokes about it as they did with Cheney? Because all their phony "concern" for Cheney's health if he remained in the office of VP is now gonna backfire right on them? They'd LOVE to have Clinton be VP, or try to finagle a third term somehow.
Clinton can go to h*ll!
I won't say a prayer for his recovery. I'll pray for him to go into a coma.
The Chicago Tribune still has the original story listed as you show in your posting. I sent the links to the Chicago Tribune site and the revised story on Yahoo to Brit Hume. Hopefully, someone at Fox will follow up on this.
I haven't read the whole thread, but I was THERE! And there wasn't ONE BOO! NOT ONE! I am so outraged at this report.
