French politician Rachida Dati has been forced to issue a public apology after confusing fellatio (oral sex on a man) with inflation. The 44-year-old former justice minister and MEP has been called ‘Rachida Barbie’ by her political opponents because of her supposed poor understanding of complicated political and economic issues.
On Sunday she was asked about overseas investment funds maybe profiteering during a period of economic uncertainty and said:
"I see some of them looking for returns of 20 or 25 per cent, at a time when fellatio is almost non-existent."
In French, fellatio is ‘fellation’, which sounds rather like inflation, which is the same in French as in English.
Miss Dati has apologised for her slip of the tongue (pun intended) saying on Facebook: ‘This kind of thing happens if you speak too quickly on this kind of programme.’
Of course fellatio is likely to bring about inflation but I suppose that after completion, deflation is likely to follow!
Thanks t The Mail for the spot.
