French Politician Mistakes Inflation for Fellatio

(Sept. 27) -- They say politics is a dirty business, and when politicians talk about oral sex on national TV -- even accidentally -- it's easy to see why.

In what sounds like a setup for a Bill Clinton joke, French politician Rachida Dati mixed up the word for "inflation" with the word for "fellatio" during an interview with Canal Plus television Sunday.

According to the Time Newsfeed, Dati -- the mayor of Paris' seventh arrondissement -- jumbled her words when asked about foreign investment during a time of economic instability.

"I see some of them looking for returns of 20 or 25 percent, at a time when fellatio is almost nonexistent," she reportedly stated.

Though the French words fellation and inflation have distinctly different meanings, they sound alike -- leading to Dati's slip of the tongue.

I used to think that coitus interruptus was the successor to Marcus Aurelius.

… leading to Dati's slip of the tongue.

Isn’t that what used to be called a “Freudian slip”? It might have been an indication of what was on her mind at the time.

"at a time when fellatio is almost nonexistent,when fellatio is almost nonexistent,"

She must be married.

Bill Clinton is very, very upset about this state of affairs

In this case, a Freudian slurp.

[Jack Hammer]

Well blow me down; such an elementary error would seem to indicate she’s not a cunning linguist.

Fair mistake. “Inflation” and “fellatio” are each words that it’s difficult to get your mouth around.
