WEST ALLIS, Wis. - President Bush (news - web sites) on Friday offered former President Bill Clinton (news - web sites), 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.
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."
Yeah. I just told Drudge to nail the ap FOR THIS.
VERY DISGUSTING.
Bump
Drudge came through!
THEN RETRACTS... AUDIO REVEALS LOUD CHEERS FOR EX-PREZ... DEVELOPING...
There is a Milwaukee talk radio host (Mark Belling) going after them right now. He played a soundtrack of it on the air. He's trying to get the name of the writer of the story. I will not call the slime who wrote this a reporter.
414-225-3580.
AP office in Milwaukee. The AP is refusing to the give the name of the reporter who wrote this garbage. Call and demand the name, then call again.

I am an American living abroad. The BBC is reporting the booing like it is the honest truth, complete with appalled faces on the anchor and the reporter. Really shows you how the media bias works. IT IS ALL LIES......
bttt.... disgusting.
At this moment, the Guardian still has it up.
Unbelievable. This lie is still appearing in various forms of media.
Based on the 2 conversations I've had so far with AP editors, that organization could care less. To the AP, the fact that they "corrected" the story, they're off the hook.
Again, UNBELIEVABLE!!!
The only thing surprizing about this is that Reuter's didn't do it first.
Karen Hughes is the reason. She raised holy hell with the lying reporter!
That story about Hughes has been posted by a blogger with no more "facts" than an AP shill.
