Original message in describing his comments as "unartful," Gibbs continues to own them....

Criticizing himself as "unartful" isn't a retraction by any means-- it's simply an acknowledgment that he should have sugar coated his contempt for liberals a bit more than he did, and that he shouldn't have expressed himself so plainly. Gibbs, a master of doublespeak, spoke his unvarnished truth for once, and now wishes he had buried it beneath a few layers of "artful" deniability.
There is no doubt that the WH has little more than contempt for the left unless they need our votes, which they somehow manage to simultaneously characterize as insignificant and a major cause of unreasoned grief. But in any event, Gibb's backpedaling isn't a retraction of the WH message to the left, it's an expression of regret for having spoken so straightforwardly.
Gee Bug_Boy, why do you even care??? Aren't you leaving the country with your partner??? :confused: :D
