France’s ex-justice minister Rachida Dati mixed up the words “fellatio” and “inflation” – which sound similar in French – during a TV interview.
She told Canal Plus: “I see some [foreign investment funds] looking for returns of 20 or 25% at a time when fellatio is close to zero.”
Within hours, the video was an internet hit on websites such as YouTube.
Ms Dati, now a Euro MP, later laughed off the whole episode saying she had spoken too quickly…
The French word for fellatio is “fellation”, which sounds similar to the word “inflation”.
Ms Dati left the government last year amid criticism of her management style, and gossip about her clothes and love life.
She is now an MEP and serves as mayor of Paris’s seventh arrondissement.
At least she sees the humor of mispronouncing a word – and doesn’t try to pass it off as a neologism.
Looks like French conservative politicians have the same problems sorting out sex and politics as their American counterparts.
Bet they have more fun at it, though.
I too am finding that fellatio is close to zero 🙁
I wonder if she’d mind helping out
I had an embarrassing moment at La Poste when I was trying to open a bank account when I got the “Baise-moi” (meaning ‘fuck me’) mixed up with “besoin” (having need). Fortunately he saw the funny side of it …
“Holy merde”
In France, female politicians are into fellatio. In the US, well, you fill in the rest.
Well, here in France, everyone had a good laugh, including her, and it was forgotten the next day.
I think I’m in love.
#5, here in the US it’s the anti-gay preachers who do it.
8 Olo Baggins of Bywater,
You forget Christian Conservative Republicans with a Family Values platform.
Damn, she’s a hottie.
I love the Europeans for being comfortable with sexuality – opposite of the Puritan prudes we are as a nation.
She can demonstrate inflation to me anytime.
The reason she’s a ‘hottie’ in the picture is because she has a finger in her mouth.
Seems we have an influx of Republican oral pervs in the forum as of late.
There are many things I believe the French should be ashamed of, in my opinion, but this is one to be proud of. An attractive female politician has a slip of the tongue and is able to laugh it off.
In the US, the Family Research Council and other like-minded institutions would be calling for their immediate expulsion from office, simply because they said the word. If the politician tried to laugh it off, these attack dogs would say the politician was endorsing fellatio (and thus sodomy). It would quickly spiral into a “protect the children” from the hedonistic utterances of an obvious sexual degenerate.
Is that a pearl braclet she’s wearing?

Odd you would say that seeing as how so many democrats suck big time!
#16 Hey, I’m not opposed to more Republicans in here at all. The excuses are pretty pathetic and we need new material from them.
Just a Freudian slip – “when you say one thing and mean a mother”
13 Dallas,
Nope. A hottie.

We need her to run as Senator from California.
Hummmm….a “slip of the tongue”
Well, that’s a good start!
“Pass it off as a Neologism?”===Maybe that words means something different in France? Nothing “neo” about misspeaking and I’ve never heard the 8th grade drop outs in the USA claim such a thing.
Another Freudian slip: While at the annual family dinner, son says: “You both ruined my life with your constant belittling all of us and your arguing with each other all the time—-I mean, pass the salt.”
Well fellatio without inflation isn’t much fun.

I see the problem here – she needs to flip her hand around so that the Thumb is on top! Geez!
AC
I’ll bet she could suck start a Harley.
:))) Fellatio without inflation is not so fun.
I confuse the two all the time too.
Those who have never tried celebrity dresses may at first hesitate to wear these kinds of clothing, but once you have experimented with your looks, it will definitely not disappoint you.
