Our Tanaiste - This really happened, it's just too stupid for current affairs :)

Our Tanaiste (Deputy prime-minister) was opening Facebooks new HQ in Dublin. The company's CEO sat beside her. Great stuff, inward investment and jobs. One of the journos asked her had she a facebook page herself
"You must be joking!" she exclaimed forcefully, visions of bold tabloid hacks checking out her holiday snaps and counting up her number of friends.
"Would I trust you guys?" she added, dissolving into fits of laughter.
It would've been a perfectly fine answer at most press conferences, but perhaps not the most diplomatic reply to give out while launching Facebook's posh new HQ in Dublin and while seated next to the company's Chief Financial Officer and Online Director.
And in the midst of her merriment this fact did dawn on the Tanaiste and she promptly turned to the company's keeper of the purse, David Ebersman, swiftly assuring him: "That's no reflection on the company," with a final giggle

It's funny :D. It'd be truly hilarious if these muppets weren't running the country.
