Rolling Stone Retracts Clinton Quote

WASHINGTON –– Rolling Stone now says President Clinton didn't use
offensive language to describe the military's "don't ask, don't
tell" policy for homosexuals.
The misquote, printed in Rolling Stone's latest issue, lent humor
to the White House briefing Thursday when a reporter asked: "When
did the president decide that 'don't ask, don't tell' was a
dumbass thing to do?"
White House press secretary Jake Siewert reassured reporters that
the president didn't use the unsavory language when discussing
the policy allowing gays to serve in uniform as long as they
don't reveal their sexual orientation.
The Rolling Stone article based on interviews with Clinton by the
magazine's founder, Jann Wenner, quoted Clinton as saying: "And
it was only then that I worked out with (former Joint Chiefs of
Staff) Colin Powell this dumbass 'don't ask, don't tell' thing
..."
Robert Love, managing editor of Rolling Stone, said it was a
typo.
"Due to a transcription error, the words "don't ask" were printed
as "dumb ass" in our interview with President Clinton. We regret
the error," Love said in a statement.
