Your Freudian slip is showing

Budget speech as written:

Now we need people with that same enterprising attitude to help us build an economic miracle here at home. We are issuing a clarion call to local residents young and old, to our expatriates and to immigrants from far and wide to join with us as we prepare to step up to a new plateau of economic activity.

Budget speech as delivered by Finance Minister Mr. Malaprop:

Now we need people with that same enterprising attitude to help us build an economic miracle here at home. We are issuing a clarion call to local residents young and old, to our expatriates and to immigrants from far and wide to join with us as we prepare to step up to a new platitude of economic activity.

(And “clarion call”? Really?)
