Did or didn't the crowd boo at a Bush rally when he announced Clinton was hospitalized? The AP reported that they did, but now apparently retracted the version that states the crowd had booed.
Here is the AP story on Newsday, 1:57 PM version: "Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them. "
The AP story later on Yahoo News, after 6PM: "The crowd reacted with applause and with some 'ooohs,' apparently surprised by the news that Clinton was ill."

Listen and decide. The whole thing is strange; how could an AP reporter who was there "mishear" things?
