Bush Offers Best Wishes for Clinton (Liberal bias shows again)
AP via Yahoo ^

Posted on 09/03/2004 11:16:20 AM PDT by MaineRepublic

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."

Thanks. It would be nice if the other radio folks would pick this up. People cannot trust the mainstream media. The more examples the better.

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?

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) - President Bush on Friday offered former President Bill Clinton, who faces heart bypass surgery, "best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery."

"He's is in our thoughts and prayers," Bush said at a campaign rally.

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.

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.

Can anyone say why the dems are going out of their way to say that Clinton did not have a heart attack?

Could it be that they would cover up such a thing at this juncture for political purposes?

Would they waste such a chance to say:
It's Bush's Fault?

This may be off topic, but I have a suggestion for the Swifties next ad. Someone needs to shoot film of the Vietnam War Museum in Saigon (I think) run by the commies, and use the footage in the ads. Film specifically of Kerry's picture hanging there, one of their "HEROS", who shortened the war for them and made their "victory" possible. That definitely wouldn't be a lie!

I saw it on CNN -- there were NO boo's that I could hear. I'm sure this will be replayed on every channel today and hopefully people will hear the truth.

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.

AW!! B*llsh*t!

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.
