Audience boos as Bush offers best wishes for Clinton's recovery
By Associated Press, 9/3/2004 13:57
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.
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.''

Apparently, this article was also on the AP's website but has been taken down since. The only article about this incident is here:

It describes the crowd's reaction completely differently

The crowd reacted with applause and with some "ooohs," apparently surprised by the news that Clinton was ill.

So, what was the deal with the original AP article? I saw Bush's comments on TV and I can't understand how anybody could describe the audience reaction the way the reporter did.
