Best line from a news editor ... EVER!

There's a bit of a controversy boiling over in southern Alberta. It seems Steve Jeffrey, owner, publisher and editor of the Chestermere Anchor Weekly is in a spot of trouble. (Bold mine)
Ossie Sheddy, the president of the board of directors of the Alberta Weekly Newspaper Association — of which Jeffrey is a member of the board, and of which the Anchor is a member paper — wouldn’t say if the association is investigating the matter, and asked not to be quoted.
“I don’t give quotes for fear of being misquoted,” he said.
