Renate Künast, co-leader of the Greens in Germany, was making a parliamentary speech and quoted a piece the political columnist Hugo Müller-Vogg had written in Newsweek in October. The article, like her speech, was attacking the centre-right Chancellor, Angela Merkel.
Künast meant to say
Hugo Müller-Vogg, political columnist for the Bild newspaper, is right.
but it came out as
Hugo Müller-Vogg, political communist for the Bild newspaper, is right.
Much laughter ensued, as well as much embarrassment.
