The blunder came Monday evening on Wolf Blitzer's news show "The Situation Room." Both Soledad O'Brien and Blitzer offered separate apologies during CNN's morning show Tuesday.
CNN called it a "bad typographical error" . . .

Good thing he wasn't a Republican. You can be certain that there would NEVER have been an apology.

I guarantee the Obama folks love every time this happens. It makes him look like a victim.

"CNN called it a "bad typographical error" . . . We thought it was somewhat of a good typographical error!

A spokesman for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama said the apology was accepted. Very kind and magnanimous of Lord Saint Obama to wave his magisterial wand and forgive a news organization for a typo.
He's the ginchiest.

CNN called it a "bad typographical error" . . . CNN is so Obama-obsessed they can barely think about anything else. .....and it came out in writing.

I saw Wolf's apology this morning. He was SUPPOSED to be part of a team report on President Ford's funeral. He used part of his report time to do the apology.
Classless.
