French politician Rachida Dati criticizes investment funds for "looking for returns of 20 or 25%, at a time when fellatio is almost non-existent."
That's translated from French, in which the key word is "fellation," which she supposedly confused with "inflation."

What Carla Bruni says Michelle Obama said about being First Lady.
"It’s hell. I can’t stand it!"
Oh, Carla, you attention whore. I want the whole context and the inflection. I can think of a hundred ways those words could have been spoken (assuming they were spoken). There's a way to say it that actually means "of course, it's wonderful." There's a context in which it refers only to a part of the experience, such as the way you don't get much time alone with your husband anymore.
But Carla appropriates the line to spice up the book she's selling.
I'm giving Michelle a complete pass on this one.
ADDED: Ed Driscoll assembles a lot of background material, including something I said a while ago.
