On The Newshour last night, a guy who ran a program for entrepreneurs over 60 said how startled he was when someone used it. "How would you like to be a member of a group who was characterized that way?" Or words to that effect.
I find it a MOST USEFUL phrase. It's a way to explain why you can't introduce your neighbor to your friend because you can't bring up one of their names. It's not because you're generally stupid, or don't really care about one of them. It's a "senior moment!!!"
It's such a good thing that laughter is good for your health, because there are so many funny things associated with aging!!
EDIT after reading a couple of replies. My assumption is that the use of the phrase is self-referential. I've never heard it used in any other way.

Are they Republicans in Dem clothing? Are they normally reliable Dems who are trying to hold on to red districts? Do any of you have any info?

... used such complicated methods (computer voice recognition, transcribers and regional expert) instead of a recording? How common is this throughout government? Does anyone know?

... what possessed Trump to take his advice?
Did they honestly think there was nothing wrong???
Or were they convinced it was going to see the light of day anyway?
This has continued to puzzle me for weeks.

...."contrarian voters." If you put a label on a behavior, like voting for Obama and then Trump, it's somehow reassuring. Probably not valid, but there. Do you agree? Ideas about why?

As Shields or Brooks pointed out tonight, several candidates would be stuck in D.C. in the runup to the Iowa caucuses.
What do you think?

There are studies which support this notion, even in the age of Trump. Today in the NYT there was a story about the requirement that all new buildings be topped either with solar panels or green spaces. I found that very heartening. It will become easier and easier for other entities, from individuals to municipalities to require the same things.
BUT! Is it too little too late? Climate change isn't going to wait for the building turnover in NYC to make a difference. We do need radical change. And FAST!

.... the state department's employee association for their members' legal bills. There's a story in the Times today, but I can't find it via Google News ( search on NYT + "pay steep price" ) for a link. The headline was "To Testify, Civil Servants Literally Pay Steep Price," and it's about the legal bills witnesses incur. The employees association "dispatched an appeal to its nearly 17,000 members." I wanted to give them some money. But I can't find a way. Any ideas?
