The VP talks about lubrication.
I wonder, though, if the Caller is right in referring to this as a dirty joke. “Lubrication” can also mean drinking, particularly alcoholic beverages, so, since the speech was an introduction for the Irish prime minister, maybe it was just an abysmally inappropriate ethnic joke.

I would tend to agree. There's really nothing here. He was just trying to make some segue from the friendship of the two countries being on solid footing-the hinges being well lubricated-into the regular speech by using some stupid reference to drinking. It's not that inappropriate because the Irish don't get all riled up about drinking jokes. He's simply a bungler and a mangler, that's all.

I suspect not, TRJ. No captive audiences on the night club circuit.
ReplyDeleteAll the same, I wish he was president.
