Raise S/O YATIM Asking me to behave is to insult me Rosmah: Teach them young and they will lead the way
The ability of our politicians to outperform themselves on the absurdity quotient never ceases to amaze me. As if the Congress party was not stupid enough when its spokesperson, Jayanthi Natarajan, slammed Tharoor for his 'holy cow' and 'cattle class' remarks as being insensitive, the BJP has gone a step ahead, with its spokesperson, Rajiv Pratap Rudy, claiming that had Tharoor and home minister P Chidambaram been in service with the private sector, they would have been sacked.
"We speak English but we also understand American," replied Najib to much laughter and clapping.
Encouraged, Najib further warmed the crowd by cracking a joke.
"Three Malaysians were sitting down having a fireside chat like we are doing now. And one them was complaining about his wife not being able to have children," Najib started.
"The first Malaysian said: Your wife is inconceivable." Soft laughter from the audience.
"The second Malaysian said: You're wrong. You should say that his wife is impregnable." More chuckles.
"Then the third man said: Both of you are wrong. Actually, my wife is unbearable!" The audience roars.
"No reference to my wife," Najib added after the laughter died down.
Najib did misjudge his audience towards the end of the night however when a political joke was met with a puzzled silence.
Asked by one conference delegate what Najib was going to do to support an upcoming conference on the environment, he replied:
"One of the first acts I did was create a Ministry of Green Technology. I've said before that technologically we must be green. Politically we must remain blue."
