I was present at that rally, in the front row, about 10 feet from President Bush. There was no booing -- at least none that was audible to the President because I would have heard it too! I've checked with others positioned in other parts of the auditorium -- including some who were sitting with the press -- and nobody heard anybody boo.
There was stunned silence for a moment, followed by polite and respectful applause.
Not only has this AP jerk libeled the President, he has libeled the good people of Milwaukee. What's more, he embellished his account by writing that the President did nothing to sotp the booing (which didn't happen in the first place.) The pPresident held 15,000 cheering citizens in the palm of his hand. He got us to be quiet when he directed, and he got us to cheer when he wanted. He was in complete control of that adoring crowd.
In addition the APs correction threw in news about impending "surgery" -- the President never said anything like that. He merely said that Clinton had been hospitalized and asked for us to send our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I watched it live on tv and I didn't hear any booing.
Frankly I'm relieved that Clinton is okay and didn't just keel over dead with a heart attack. Bush wouldn't be able to get his message out, and the democrats no doubt would have had a field day mourning away the rest of the campaign for the old adulterous goat.
Hell, I want Bill to live! :-)
