On Monday, Clinton apologized to Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan. On Tuesday, the apology went to talk-show host Rush Limbaugh.
Clinton had said that Limbaugh came to the defense of Attorney General Janet Reno after the 51-day standoff in Waco, Texas, only "because she was attacked by a black guy."
The president was referring to Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich.
Limbaugh said that he is "absolutely the furthest thing in the world from a racist."
"The president meant to be funny, and it wasn't," White House Communications Director George Stephanopoulos said Tuesday.
