SUMMARY: Brit Hume selectively quoted remarks by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in order to portray her as laudatory of President Bush. Hume noted that Clinton praised Bush's "charm and charisma" and credited Bush with "t[aking] care of New York" after 9-11. However, Hume did not note that Clinton's statements came during an hour-long discussion in which she criticized the Bush administration's refusal to acknowledge air quality concerns at Ground Zero.
