Changing the Subject

Dan Rather is trying to spin the questions away from him and toward Presdient Bush:

In an interview with the New York Observer weekly newspaper, Rather, one of the giants of American broadcasting, called on Bush to answer the questions the memos raised about his Vietnam-era service instead of having surrogates question the veracity of the memos.

"With respect: answer the questions," Rather said, adding, "We've heard what you have to say about the documents and what you've said and what your surrogates have said, but for the moment, answer the questions."
