WEST ALLIS, Wis. - President Bush (news - web sites) on Friday offered former President Bill Clinton (news - web sites), who faces heart bypass surgery, "best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery."
"He's is in our thoughts and prayers," Bush said at a campaign rally.
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."
See the previous thread.
You've gotta be kidding me.....
wowser..the old media is on its death bed.
BTW, prayers for Clinton.
Even though I can't stand Slick's Politicks, I wish him well and a speedy recovery.......
Someone who had connections to conservative commentators needs to forward these two Free Republic threads to them. If we hadn't have been paying attention, this liberal bias would have remained. But we caught them. It needs to be noted when the Left tries to ridicule the charge of a Liberal media bias.
Good catch!
Rather, I heard applause when Bush asked for prayers for Clinton.
BTW, prayers for Clinton.
Yes, because good comedians are few and far between!
What previous thread?
This one:

The AP removed their blatant lies in the corrected story.
Holy cow. How amazing is that?
Scroll down.
My favorite one was last Q when the economy grew by 2.8% and the headline was "Confirmed: US Economy Contracting". They had to change that one two. But not after a few million people read it.
I don't understand. AP said there was booing where there was none?
Eds: SUBS lead to include reference to surgery. DELETES 3rd graf previous, Bush's audience, because of uncertainty about crowd reaction.

Got it. Thanks!
He's in my thoughts and prayers too.
AP actually did report booing before they didn't report booing.
"BTW, prayers for Clinton"
