Agree.
And I will add: pride is not a luxury many associates can afford to have. The partners will respect your "taking one for the team" and allowing the partner to save face *wink wink*.
As long as it's not an ethical violation, you need to sort of just suck it up, while not appearing totally incompentent.
Just say "There must've been some miscommunication between asshole, the client, and me. I'll do my best to get that cleared up and to make sure the rest of the transaction runs smoothly."
