A gracious apology

The other day Charles Krauthammer wrote the following:

Shortly after 9/11, President George W. Bush received from Prime Minister Tony Blair a bust of Winston Churchill as an expression of British-American solidarity. Bush gave it pride of place in the Oval Office.
In my Friday column about Mitt Romney's trip abroad and U.S. foreign policy, I wrote that Barack Obama "started his presidency by returning to the British Embassy the bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office."
Within hours, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer had created something of a bonfire. Citing my statement, he posted a furious blog on the White House website, saying, "Normally we wouldn't address a rumor that's so patently false, but just this morning The Washington Post's Charles Krauthammer repeated this ridiculous claim in his column. ... This is 100 percent false. The bust [is] still in the White House. In the Residence. Outside the Treaty Room."
