Sen. Chuck Grassley jokingly apologized for calling Mitt Romney a “bad word” a week ago when he accidentally referred to the GOP nominee as President Barack Obama. Obama’s name is so disliked in the Grassley home, the senator acknowledged, that his three-year-old great-granddaughter thought it was a curse. “I said that bad word ‘Obama’ instead of Romney,” said Grassley. “Four years ago I was mentioning that word [Obama], not at a speech like this, but at our family home. And we have a great granddaughter by the name of Indy. And she said to me – she’s seven now, so she must have been three then – ‘Grandpa, don’t say that dirty word!’

The election is almost here, and the candidates are scheduled to appeal to the American voting public again at the last minute, as President Obama and Mitt Romney are expected on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” broadcast the day before the election. ESPN’s Chris Berman — who also interviewed Obama and John McCain on the eve of the presidential election four years ago during “MNF” — plans to tape separate interviews with the candidates Monday afternoon. Both segments will air during halftime of the game, said the network, which pits the Philadelphia Eagles against the New Orleans Saints.
