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."

If local station were covering the event, they'd have ignored the AP wire coverage.
This line is no longer included at the boston.com link you provided. Did they remove this comment too??? http://www.boston.com/news/politics/president/bush/articles/2004/09/03/audience_boos_as_bush_offers_best_wishes_for_clintons_recovery/
Yeah, it's funny though when you read the title in the html link.
Just in case you're wondering, I was the one who reported your pornographic link as "abuse." I've looked over your postings, newby, and am pretty sure you're a disrupter pretending to be a Freeper.
Your zottage may be imminent.
There's also a link to the audio on Drudge's site. I didn't hear any boos at all, but I did hear some harty applause when the President sent well wishes to the Clintons.
This quote...
"Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them.
...becomes this quote...
"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."
...now nothing!
I have listened to three seperate audio recordings with my headphones, turned up to 11, and I cannot make out a single "Boo". All I hear is polite applause. F'n LIARS! Someones ASS should be fired over at AP!
Welcome to FR!
Thanks.
We will change the face of media. One fight at a time.
Where is there an audio recording??????
check keyword boogate - one of the threads has a link.
Belling said he believes the ap reporter may have been scott lindlaw.
If you're predisposed of such breakdowns, they don't go away after the surgery, other systems are affected.
We were lucky that God gave pop the subborn gene, and its been a good one since pop has outlived all the doctors that preformed his by-pass and several others since, but he's had to deal with a host of other somewhat related maladies since.
So, as much as I hated Clinton as a president, I don't wish what he's going through on anyone.
It ain't fun.
