21st Century Marie Antoinette

The phrase, “Let them eat cake,” is attributed to Marie Antoinette, erroneously per this Dear Yahoo posting.  Be that as it may, the phrase brings to mind the actual nature of uncaring polticos, like, say, Teresa Heinz Kerry, who had this to say about hurricane relief efforts directed at individuals who have been driven from their homes.

"Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids,” said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. “Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes."

Mommy knows best, I guess.
