LOL, a Faux News(?)audio clip that quickly fades off?

I think I'll take the AP's word (http://cbsnewyork.com/nynews/NY--Bush-Clinton-on/resources_news_html) .


By the way, are you going to tell me which political opponent trashed/booed Trent Lott at the Wellstone Memorial, or have you had enough?

Why? Because it conforms with your belief system? If you do some research you'll find two versions that AP story. One states:

'WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) President Bush on Friday wished Bill Clinton ``best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery.''

``He's is in our thoughts and prayers,'' Bush said at a campaign rally.

Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them. source (http://cbsnewyork.com/nynews/NY--Bush-Clinton-on/resources_news_html)

The other states:

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) - 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 in Wisconsin.

The crowd reacted with applause and with some ``ooohs,'' apparently surprised by the news that Clinton was ill. source (http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-4472619,00.html)

A little more digging turns up:

AP Retracts 'Clinton Booed' Story

The Associated Press has retracted its Friday afternoon report that a crowd at a Bush rally in West Allis, Wisc., booed when President Bush offered ex-President Clinton best wishes for a speedy recovery from coronary bypass surgery scheduled for next week.

In a report that moved on the AP wire at 9:27 a.m. Saturday, the AP said:

"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." source (http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/9/4/112512.shtml)

NewsMax? Meh :rolleyes:
You're nuttier than I thought. I am open to the possibility that the AP may have been mistaken, just as I am open to the idea that the corporate media would have the story scrubbed to save Bush some bad press. Either way, I care very little about some assjacks tastelessly booing. However, neither you nor dead college basketball coach guy have proven jack shit on this matter. :eek:

Now you better run along to your missile investigation (http://www.policestate21.com/) :p :rolleyes:

Why didn't NewsMax provide a link to AP's retraction?
Because there wasn't one.
