Yet Another Stupid Politician (YASP)

During a celebration of its National Day, Belgium's new prime minister, Yves Leterme, was asked to sing the country's national anthem. He stood up to the microphone and began singing the Marseillaise -- France's national anthem. The resulting video is getting hundreds of thousands of hits on YouTube. But his day of gaffes wasn't over yet: When asked what Belgium's National Day commemorates, Leterme confidently answered,

The proclamation of the constitution.

Nope: it is to remember the day that Leopold I became King in 1831. (London Times)
