Um, about that slip of the tongue Tuesday when Mitt Romney mixed up Democratic candidate Barack Obama’s name with Osama bin Laden, Romney chalked the error up to “the ravages of turning 60.”
Romney, who turned 60 earlier this year, said today in an Eagle-Tribune editorial board meeting it was an innocent mistake and he doubts the voters will hold it against him
“I do that with my own kids, the ravages of turning 60 years old,” the former Massachusetts governor said. “I had no idea until afterward, when someone told me I switched the names. … To err is human, to err frequently suggests you’ve passed 60.”
