Obama Privately Calls Kanye West A Jackass; ABC Apologizes For Publishing It

Gee, what boneheads at ABC. Do they understand the word" off record"?

During an interview with CNBC, President Obama called Kanye West a "jackass" for his behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards -- which ABC News then published on Twitter, even though that was intended to have been an off-the-record comment. ABC has now apologized: "This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."
