The AP lying. Imagine that!
Bookmarked and you bet I will.
This has been caught on several threads throughout the day, but it is amazing at the level the media will stoop to try to slime Bush. Heads should roll over this, but instead I bet a promotion is given.

Drudge now says AP retracts booing part, that "uncertainty" of crowd reaction led to pulling of that graf.
I'll check the coverage in the leftie lib Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the conservative, more-balanced Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Those silly leftists are still trying to catch Republicans in a Wellstone moment. It is not gonna happen as Republicans have class.
Boos, cheers, easily confused. Probably just an honest mistake by the media. Could have happened to anybody.

I just saw this newsclip and didn't hear a single boo. The other lie that was told is that President Bush did nothing to stop the "boos."
We'll have to change "lie like a guy" to "lie like the AP".
NBC Dateline just played the video with plenty of audio, and there was only cheering for Clinton's recovery. Not even a single boo. Bush made us proud, he didn't have to coach anyone to make the audience make a respectful response. The same thing that happened when Cheney mentioned Kerry's service to our country and the convention cheered.
According to Drudge, the AP is now saying that maybe the audience applauded clinton. Next thing you know, they'll spin it as a plug for Billy Jeff.
If they applauded, they applauded Bush's magnificent decency and the way he consistently tries to speak well of his predecessor in spite of clinton's vindictive attacks on him. It's very doubtful that they applauded the Sinkmeister.
I will do that, thanks.
The funniest thing in all this is that Mrs. Clinton took that opportunity at her news conference to tout there health insurance!
Can they not even have a heart attack without political soap box? Got to love em... They keep me smilin...
Below....
Sen. Clinton said her husband would "be back in fighting form before really very long after the surgery and the period of necessary recovery passes."
She praised the hospital's medical staff and saying: "We're delighted we have good health insurance. That makes a big difference. And I hope someday everybody will be able to say the same thing."
WTF?
It unquestionably sounded like cheers and applause in affirmation of what the president said, wishing Clinton the best.
It is incredulous that the AP (or CNNABCBSNBCNYT) actually believes they can make up news about events that tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of people witness, plus are being recorded on videotape and easily checked.
Talk about gaul.
Wonder when/how/if other media outlets will report this?
This is really particulary nasty. I heard the soundbite earlier on the news and the crowd clearly cheers for Clinton, no booing. How much more is this media going to do to destroy President Bush? I understand they even said President Bush did nothing to stop them! This is war folks!
For example, the Cronkite lies about the Tet Offensive. If we had stopped the North Vietnam Communists' "most trusted man in America" could we have gotten North Vietnam to the peace agreement years earlier? I think so. Hundreds of thousands of people would still be alive.
I emailed and said I had no idea Michael Moore was writing for the AP.
