At least that WAS an apology...unlike the one to Charles Krauthammer from the White House press guy. I challenge you to find the apology herein:

Charles,

I take your criticism seriously and you are correct that you are owed an apology. There was clearly an internal confusion about the two busts and there was no intention to deceive. I clearly overshot the runway in my post. The point I was trying to make – under the belief that the Bust in the residence was the one previously in the Oval Office– was that this oft repeated talking point about the bust being a symbol of President Obama’s failure to appreciate the special relationship is false. The bust that was returned was returned as a matter of course with all the other artwork that had been loaned to President Bush for display in his Oval Office and not something that President Obama or his Administration chose to do. I still think this is an important point and one I wish I had communicated better.

A better understanding of the facts on my part and a couple of deep breaths at the outset would have prevented this situation. Having said all that, barring a miracle comeback from the Phillies I would like to see the Nats win a world series even if it comes after my apology

Thanks,

Dan Pfeiffer

You’re right that WAS an apology.

I think the reason it took a full month for it to be issued was because the DCCC had to be horsewhipped into a corner first.

I’ll bet they were going to put out some ‘if we’ve offened anyone...........’ kind of statement. Then the Adelson lawyers got involved and wrote the apology for them, along with “either you say this, or we’ll see you in court”.
