Reminds me of Yes, Minister:

  - Can I attribute it? "Minister speaks out"?
  - No, no, no.
  - Then, where did I get the story? I can't say, "Officially announced."
  - "Government spokesman"?
  - How about, "Sources close to Minister"?
  - Hold on, I don't want everybody to know I told you! Couldn't you do,
    "Speculation is growing in Westminster"?
  - A bit weak.
  - "Unofficial spokesman"?
  - Used that twice this week already!
  - The Cabinet's leaking like a sieve, isn't it?
