Bush Offers Good Wishes To Clinton For Speedy Recovery
Sep 4, 2004 9:27 am US/Central
NOTE: This is a correction to an incorrect story posted by AP on Friday stating the crowd booed the President when he sent his good wishes. The crowd, in fact, did NOT boo.
President Bush on Friday offered former President Bill Clinton, who faces heart bypass surgery, "best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery."
"He 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."

Incorrect? It was a flat out lie. And the false statement "Bush did nothing to stop them." is propaganda and false on it's face. A retraction is not enough.
Excellent. Now all of those outlets that picked up the first AP lie, need to run this retraction.
