I Guess This Counts As A “Tongue Twister”
Or perhaps a “slip of the tongue”?
Glamorous French politician Rachida Dati has been forced to issue a public apology after confusing oral sex with inflation.
The 44-year-old former justice minister and MEP is frequently nicknamed ‘Rachida Barbie’ because of her poor understanding of complicated political issues.
…Asked about overseas investment funds profiteering during a period of economic uncertainty, she 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 – a sex* act performed on a man – is ‘fellation’, which sounds a bit like inflation, which is the same word in French and English.
As of 10 am this morning there was a rather long line of economists outside her door looking to further delve into monetary policy with her.
*not according to The Official Bill Clinton Dictionary, mind you

So that’s why the Stimulus didn’t work.
Le Blue Pill
Oh, that just blows.
No, major dad, it sucks.
But it’s clear that this Rachida Dati gives mostly lip service to politics.
Tongue lashing in order?
Who was the source on this — Deep Throat?
I get how she might get the two mixed up.

Problem is, we’re the ones getting screwed here… and it’s not as fun as advertised.
Um, oral sex in fact has something to do with inflation. Just not the monetary kind.
