Condom Rice?


Can this be true?

As he introduced his guest, the Foreign Secretary held up a copy of a local newspaper and read out the headline: "Condom….er, Condi Comes to the Centre of the World".

It has become quite apparent that Jack Straw and Condoleezza Rice are smitten with each other, but this Freudian slip, if true and not an April Fools joke, is hilarious.

It has now emerged that the happy couple have slipped off to Baghdad, presumably to get some peace and quiet after having to avoid all those noisy protesters.


*UPDATE*

When I wrote this piece, I naturally speculated that this might be an April Fools joke. However, The Telegraph has published an update maintaining that the story is indeed true. To prove it they have an MP3 of that part of Jack Straw's speech where he makes his slip of of the tongue. I have just heard it and sure enough... You can read the update and download the MP3 here.
