negative payload "he"

[Jonathan Lighter]

Republican Congressman Clay Shaw of Florida knows that Jeb Bush is Governor.  So what could have led him to say on Fox News about five minutes ago, in regard to Hurrican Rita,

"In Florida we had a governor who knew what they were doing"  ?

I sense an incipient taboo on the use of "he" even to refer to an actual male human being.
