Bad Word: Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said President Barack Obama's name is so despised in the Grassley family that the senator's 3-year-old great-granddaughter thought it was a curse, Politico reports. "Four years ago, I was mentioning that word [Obama] ... at our family home," Grassley said. "And we have a great granddaughter by the name of Indy. And she said to me — she’s 7 now, so she must have been 3 then – ‘Grandpa, don't say that dirty word!'"
