WEST ALLIS, Wis. -- President Bush is sending former President Clinton "best wishes for a swift and smooth recovery."
At a state fairgrounds rally in Wisconsin, the president told backers Clinton is in America's thoughts and prayers -- as he faces heart bypass surgery in a New York hospital.
Many in Bush's audience booed when Clinton's name was mentioned. The president made no comment on that and continued with his rally speech.
In June, Bush invited the former president and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to the White House for the unveiling of their official portraits. Bush praised his predecessor as a man of knowledge and compassion who has "the forward-looking spirit that Americans like in a president."

The wire services are truly staffed by the spawn of Lucifer.
Is there no consideration that if indeed there was boo-ing, it may have been for the heart attack?
No one on the conservative side wants to see physical harm come to Clinton. As disgusting as he is, he was still our president for most of the 1990's, and believe it or not, we respect the office of the President (even if that president is Clinton and he didn't have any respect for the office he held.
If the AP want to make up "boos for Clinton", I think that their belated real feelings are surfacing. It's the leftist and communist and people like democrats that rejoice at the ill fate of the other side. There would be Dancing In The Streets if our Vice-President suffered a heart attack and actually died. And the AP would report it was a celebration of his life.

ping for you to tell your truth
AP is so screwed.
I suggest that everyone email the AP on this issue.
Demand AP to correct the story if it's not factual. Also call any media source that runs the AP Story and express the dislike for them running slanderous articles.
