Drudge is still carrying the original AP story with some kind of garbled addendum and then a link to the full transcript saying that the 'local press' reported applause. The link is to the official White House transcript with the word 'applause' written in the appropriate places. This is hardly a retraction and it hardly tells the story of the AP blatent lie.
I was there -- right in the thick of it, right in front of the podium, right in the center of the auditorium, and I could hear anything the President could hear.
If there were any boos, he couldn't hear them because I couldn't hear them.
What actually happened is that there was a fraction of a moment of stunned silence and then polite clapping because that is what the president asked us to do. The President held that audience of 15,000 partisans in the palm of his hand. We would do anything he asked yesterday.
I wrote Drudge late last night and their page was changed immediately. However, no further corrections have been made to the story. The AP should be exposed for the lying b-ds that they are! Everyone should lip a note to Drudge until a full retraction is posted. And a note to the AP isn't a bad idea eaither.
Booos to oooohs. My, lord -- how lame!

Thanks for the post and support.
It is the DemonRats that make fun of diseased and/or handicapped Republican politicans. Reagan while having alzheimers and Dole with his war injuries, and how they wished they were dead. It's probably a blessing that Max Cleland is a Democrat, otherwise, he'd be known as 'Bob'.
