Barbara Bush Detached From Reality

September 12, 2005

The famous quote “Let them eat cake…” which was probably never uttered by Marie Antoinette. She supposedly said this upon hearing that the lower classes of France were starving, lacking mainly bread. Regardless of its true origin, the quote has repeatedly been used to refer to the rich or empowered being horribly out of touch with the common man, so out of touch that they would utter something horribly ignorant in the face of their suffering.

Now undeniably, a quote like this has been uttered, recorded, and cannot ever be defended with some obscure hope for contextual justification.

While visiting the Hurricane Katrina refugees, Barbara Bush said:

“And so many of the people in the arenas here you know, were underprivileged anyway. This is working very well for them.”

So unforgivable… Explains a bit more about the ignorance and lack of sensitivity in her son George.

From The National Ledger: Barbara Bush: Let Them Eat Cake

With this one unfortunate slip of the tongue, a few moments of a radio interview, she has gone far towards helping us more clearly paint the economic boundaries of America in 2005. The lives of these people, in effect, really had no value without money. Losing your house, friends, community, and sense of place is a good thing. Be our guests, and we might even feed you some cake if you’re good boys and girls.

If you still don’t believe it, listen to the MP3.
