Here's the AP retraction. As for NewsMax posting the original erroneous AP report, it was yanked as soon as I saw it this morning.

Bush Offers Good Wishes To Clinton For Speedy Recovery

Sep 4, 2004 9:27 am US/Central

West Allis, Wis. (AP) 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."

Well I'll be damned. I'll bet your news service is the only news service that will publish that. But since your news service is the only news service anyone is going to read anymore, I guess that will be enough.
