Special Olympics: Shriver didn’t accept Emanuel’s apology
February 3rd, 2010Ben Smith, writing in politico.com, says the Special Olympics disputes a claim from an unnamed White House source that Tim Shriver accepted Rahm Emanuel’s apology for calling liberals “f–ing retarded.”
An excerpt:
The vice president for communications at the Special Olympics, Kirsten Seckler, told me that this account of the conversation is “inaccurate.”
“Tim didn’t accept his apology,” she said. “Tim can’t do that. He can’t accept an apology on behalf of all people with disabilities.”
