Evacuees?? Let 'em eat cake...

Let 'em eat cake?

From today's Chicago Sun-Times:

"What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is that they all want to stay in Texas. Everybody is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them." -- Former First Lady Barbara Bush, in response to evacuees of hurricane Katrina relocating to the Astrodome, Sept. 5th.
It's all very Marie Antoinette... where's the revolution when you need it?
