OH, this is Rich!!! -- Great Moments in Journalism and Obfuscation

From the AP:

President Bush has reviewed disputed documents that purport to show he refused orders to take a physical examination in 1972 and did not recall having seen them previously, a White House official said Saturday...

In his first public comment on the CBS documents controversy, the president told The Union Leader of Manchester, N.H., "There are a lot of questions about the documents, and they need to be answered."

In the telephone interview published Saturday, Bush replied "I don't know" to a question whether the White House had evidence that either the campaign of Democratic rival John Kerry or the Democratic Party were involved in releasing the disputed papers.

I know the Union Leader is a Republican oriented paper, but for the love of fuck, how about asking..."Are the allegations in the documents correct Mr. President?"

Criminy, that isn't fucking hard!
