Boos For Bill At Concert
Page Six, New York Post ^ | 4/11/2003 | Richard Johnson

Posted on 04/10/2003 10:24:14 PM PDT by HHFi

BILL Clinton was booed Wednesday night when he took the stage at the Beacon Theater at the start of a Willie Nelson concert. "The place went wild when [Clinton] was announced," said our spy. "There was loud booing and yelling." Clinton "seemed angered" and made a comment about "angry Republicans," which stirred the crowd on more. "There was so much anti-Clinton booing and yelling that when Willie came back out, he asked if everyone was all right . . . the concert was taped for a Memorial Day showing on the USA network, but even with serious editing, it will be hard to use the Clinton part at all."

A Clinton aide acknowledged some booing, but added: "There was so much applauding that he had to quiet them down so he could introduce Willie. [Clinton] was not upset at all. They gave him quite a rousing ovation and he was mobbed by all the talent. He had just flown in from Mexico and went straight to the event." Lyle Lovett, Sheryl Crow, John Mellencamp, Kris Kristofferson, Kenny Chesney, Elvis Costello and Norah Jones were also there to wish Nelson a happy 70th birthday.

Okay, I think we know where Saddam's Minister of Information went: he's now working for Bill Clinton.

ROTFL! You may be right.

It is odd that the Clintons don't know at this point that they need to avoid appearing before a crowd that is filled with cops, firemen, or Country and Western fans.

Good point. What does it mean? Insulated? In denial? Miscalculation?

After Viacom's re-editing of the Concert For New York that replaced the boos Hillary received with cheers and Michael moore's attempt to spin Oscar night as people booing the booers, the crowds of today now know that they should leave no doubt as to how they feel.

Perhaps the only things WhoreAllDough ever said that I enjoyed was when he referred to this Iraghead as the "Minister of Wishfull Thinking."

I just wish he'd disapear like Carter did (until recently) and pick up some humanitarian cause,like fighting AIDS. This way he could attempt to build some respect for himself after his disaster presidency. Instead he is such a narcissistic , show-man, with no feel for timing or rythm.

Exactly---Baghdad Bob alert:

"A Clinton aide acknowledged some booing, but added: "There was so much applauding that he had to quiet them down so he could introduce Willie."

Right. Michael Moore complains of fictions, and yet it's the video of Hillary! that is altered.

They (the Clintons) have to learn to make themselves scarce when the country is feeling particularly patriotic. They don't go down well then.
Shouldn't he be home writing his memoirs and making good on THE highest advance ever paid to an author?

Whew, I was wondering where the Iraqi press spokesman went after the tanks that he kept saying were nowhere near Baghdad chased him out of town. Glad to see he found gainful employment.
