WEST ALLIS, Wis. - President Bush (news - web sites) on Friday wished Bill Clinton (news - web sites) "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."
Cheers and applause sound right to me!
When Bill and Hillary tell the Whole Truth
about their schemes to take down America
and are sent to Jail for their crimes....
I'll pray for their souls.
But only then.

The AP article is pure libel against those who attended the rally.

Contrast Hillary's behavior. At first word of his husband's hospitalization, she should have immediately taken off to be at his side. What did she do? She held a press conference in Buffalo before going to NYC. Then she has another press conference on the steps of Columbia Prez Hosp Friday night. Like monarchy, she waves her hand over the fawning press and gives them absolution... and the weekend off... intoning that there will be no more news till the surgery (damn, I expected q8h reports from Hill, "The president is resting comfortably. His urine output over the last 8hrs was 480cc. EKG normal. Blood cocaine level..." She signed off by putting in a jibe and a plug for socialized medicine, saying that her husband is getting excellent care and that it's a shame that not all Americans can get health coverage (as if Columbia Prez would look anything like it does now if under Hillarycare). The woman is beneath contempt.

Republicans, the vast majority of them, have the grace and decency to wish Clinton well in a matter of life and death.
Liberals, however, have no such attributes. When Cheney had heart troubles, we were treated to endless jokes about his health and even his death. Then there was the one about if Bush senior had a heart attack, the Secret Service had orders to shoot Quayle. Liberals snicker and put on that smirking grin, as if to say "Hey, we're progressives. Anything goes...we're allowed."
