YES!! Drives me inSANE! RT @ShaneGoldmacher: It wasn't until I came to Washington that I'd heard the phrase: "Off the record, no comment."
@TonyFratto @ShaneGoldmacher People do. I argued woth a flak once for 15 minutes. "Well what am I supposed to write? Pretend I didn't call?"

@singernews@ShaneGoldmacher Good grief. I think that line started off as a punchline. I can't believe they actually say it. -
@TonyFratto@ShaneGoldmacher in fairness, I've only heard it about a half dozen times in 20 years on the job..

@singernews@ShaneGoldmacher "I have nothing for you on that" is the proper way to not comment. -
@TonyFratto@ShaneGoldmacher Can I quote you on that next time someone tries the dodge? ;-) -
@TonyFratto@singernews People do definitely say it, sadly. -
@ShaneGoldmacher I remember now: "Off the record, no comment" was a Robert Rubin punchline when asked to comment on the dollar.@singernews
