Correction: George Washington Not Burger, Clinton Not Bugger!

In our article CLINTON'S PLACE IN HISTORY: SNEAK PEEK AT TOMORROW'S TEXTBOOKS!, the DRUDGE RETORT erroneously reported that George Washington was "the Home of the Whopper" and Burger King was "the Father of Our Country." The two statements should have been reversed.

Additionally, several angry electronic e-mail letters were received regarding our claim that the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House is equipped with a ceiling mirror, a vibrating bed with shock absorbers and manacles that are permanently affixed to the Lincoln Headboard.

As television legend Markie Post and others informed the RETORT, "The bed does not vibrate, no matter how many quarters you put into it."

In another story, the DRUDGE RETORT reported on Monday that Washington police were pursuing a sodomy case against head of state Bill Clinton, recipient of the first publically acknowledged White House blowjob.

As a former White House intern told the RETORT on Wednesday, the D.C. "anti-buggering" sodomy statute was repealed in 1993, shortly after President Clinton took office.

The DRUDGE RETORT regrets the errors. In fact, we were wrong. They constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a personal failure on our part for which we are solely and completely responsible. This has gone on too long, cost too much and hurt too many innocent people. Now, this matter is between us, the people we love most and our God. We must put it right, and we are prepared to do whatever it takes to do so.

There. We said it. Are you happy now?
