Economics According to Rachida Dati: To Inflate or To Fellate?

Keep up with world news, France just continues to pop up on my radar recently, hence this little mishap surely would not go unnoticed. 

Ex-justice minister turned European Minister of Parliament, Rachida Dati is no stranger to the press, but the gaffe she made on French television network Canal Plus has thrust her back into the limelight for an embarrassing fifteen seconds. 

Dati, known for her lavish living, was talking strictly business in an interview with Canal Plus this past weekend when she accidentally used "fellatio" instead of "inflation"  in a sentence discussing French economics,

"When I see some of them looking for returns of 20 or 25 percent, at a time when fellatio is close to zero, and in particular in a slump, that means we are destroying businesses," Dati said. 

The saving grace for Dati is that, according to Agence France Presse, the word for "fellatio" in French is "fellation", which can easily be confused with "inflation."

Dati has laughed off the situation, claiming she spoke too quickly.

I, on the other hand, am convinced that French politics and economics could not be any sexier.
