Donut
Throughout history, there have been an abundance of ridiculous speeches made by political figures. The Iraqi Minister of Information, Mohammad Saeed al-Sahhaf could barely open his mouth without making a fool of himself. The tabloids aptly nicknamed him Comical Ali.
At present, David Cameron is doing his best to give him a run for his money. However, The Americans still hold the title with the classic JFK speech in Berlin. Ich bin ein Berliner. The most powerful man in the world described himself as a donut.
It could of been worse. He could have been in Paris. To the Germans, a Pariser is a condom.
OMG! i didn't know a Berliner was a doughnut.
ReplyDeleteChloe, please don't fall for this crap about donut=Berliner you have Google Chrome and therefor Google translate Berliner in English IS Berliner auf Deutch and vise-versa in kind donut is an American English adaptation of _doughnut_ and is also spoken/written in German as _donut_ the individual who posted that crap is smoking some stuff that came out of a basement lab
DeleteI've been to Germany many times. bought them and eaten them. A Berliner is a doughnut. although they do also have other names for them.
DeleteAlso, in Germany, condoms are known by many names, as in most countries. One of these names is Pariser.
DeleteWell ain't you a Mr Know-it-all.
DeleteCameron is a big fat liar!
ReplyDeleteVote UKIP
DeleteI'll be voting UKIP, despite what the newspapers say about them. They must be worrying the other parties to receive such a bashing.
DeleteAfter last nights debate on tv, I will also vote UKIP
Deletetalking politics makes MEKIP zzzzzzzz!
DeleteI remember Comical Ali.
ReplyDeleteI don't really understand why the Americans make such a big deal about JFK
ReplyDeleteI can't listen to Cameron. It plays havoc with my IBS. (irritable bullshit syndrome)
ReplyDeleteI hear you on that
DeleteI have no time for Cameron. He only looks after the rich.
ReplyDeleteEven though I did not know that a Berliner was a doughnut, I always thought it was a stupid speech. A slap in the face to the allies that had fought the war. I understand about the cold war and the Berlin airlift, but I thought this was going too far.
ReplyDeleteSo this means I can suck the jam out of a Berliner and it would not be frowned upon?
ReplyDeleteLOL!
DeleteComical Ali was hilarious. Do you think anyone actually believed him?
ReplyDeleteno ...
DeleteThat was a well thought out answer Abdel.
DeleteCameron is a tosser!
ReplyDeleteAgreed
DeleteNick Clegg reminds me of something I might of stood in.
ReplyDeletesome MPs could be described as far worse!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFYI; as an occupant of the 60' and drafted in '66 ____it was good 'ole Texan _Lyndon Banes Johnson (LBJ)__ who actually promoted the Viet Nam conflict__ (it was NOT a declared war as the ignorant and uninformed IDIOTS seem to be stuck on saying) I lived it and recall the whole era like it was yesterday,,,,you FOOLS talking SMACK need to get SMACKED
ReplyDeleteLBJ may have promoted the Vietnam conflict, but JFK followed blindly. Thousands of Americans died because he didn't have the balls to pull out at the first opportunity.
