Here’s Robert Gibbs comments during the daily briefing:
I know that the president believes that the Special Olympics are a triumph of the human spirit, and I think he understands that they deserve a lot better than — than the thoughtless joke that he made last night, and he apologizes for that.
He apologizes and still refers to it as a “joke”.
Was Imus’ comment treated as a “thoughtless joke”?
And where is the apology directly to the Special Olympians?
