Huh? Since when? Where did you get that one?
The person who most famously said that about a gazillion times was Ronald
Reagan during the Iran-Contra hearings. He might have had early-stage
Alzheimer's but his family denies this (though I don't know how they would
know). The possibility that Regean had Alzheimer's disease was a running
joke in the Doonesbury cartoon strip, but that was way before we really
believed he might have it.
Recently, the claim was used many times by Alberto Gonzalez. He should be
able to recall things that happened just a few months ago, and his
inability to remember is evidence of incompetence in his job that has
concerned many people, even Republicans.
