Queen Pelosi to American Peasants: Let Them Eat Cake

Filed Under Conservative Side of the Story, Energy Independence 

 - Scott Miller

“Let them eat cake!” This now famous phrase has been attributed to French Queen Marie Antoinette (1755-93) when she was told that the French populace had no bread to eat.

Nancy Pelosi, our very own modern day Marie Antoinette, has a similar refrain when she is told the American peasants can’t afford gas anymore… “ahh screw them!” This from CBS News:

Pelosi firm: No vote on offshore drilling

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday ruled out a vote on new offshore oil drilling even as Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said he might be open to a compromise that included it.

Pelosi called proposals to allow more offshore drilling a deceptive “decoy” rather than a solution and indicated she would bar a vote on any bill that included it. “I’m not giving the gavel away to a tactic …”

The petulance and arrogance of the democrats in Congress these days is quite stunning… but I say, hell… keep it up… keep on blocking America from producing it’s own energy. Keep on putting this country at risk to foreign energy producers. Keep on making the poorest among us pay through the nose for the gas that they drive… you may very well be driving your party right back to minority status.

Hat Tip to Mark Levin on the analogy.
