Senior moment
The District of Columbia's non-voting delegate Eleanor Holmes-Norton made a faux pas today when lauding Sen. Orrin Hatch for his leadership on a bill to give the district and Utah a House seat each. Norton, in praising Hatch, introduced him as a "senior citizen, um, senior senator."

Hatch quickly grabbed his microphone.

"You got it right the first time," Hatch said as the audience laughed. "I feel that way right now."
