I used the exact same phrase when discussing the news of his diet Coke consumption last week.
In case you want another example, it turns out that this "banned words" story may be a whole lot of hand-wringing about nothing:
Health and Human Services spokesman Matt Lloyd disputed the report in a statement to CNN. "The assertion that HHS has 'banned words' is a complete mischaracterization of discussions regarding the budget formulation process," Lloyd said. "HHS will continue to use the best scientific evidence available to improve the health of all Americans. HHS also strongly encourages the use of outcome and evidence data in program evaluations and budget decisions." (Source)
At the very least the public deserves some clarification on exactly what was said in the budget discussions, not a shoot-first-ask-questions-later approach to reporting.
