Disdain for the plebes

Here is an article about Teresa Heinz Kerry's remarks at a hurricane aid center in New York (thanks to the Mad Ogre). Is it just me or doesn't she remind you of a famous member of French nobility who just happened to loose her head during the French revolution? Just replace "let them go naked for a while" with "let them eat cake" and Voila! Marie Antoinette! And just like Marie Antoinette, her disdain for the "unwashed" masses is in open display everytime she opens her liberal "pie hole". An I thought the Democratic party was the party of compassion? I guess only if you are white, rich and liberal.
