Marie Antoinette’s “let them eat cake” is a fabrication, first found in Rousseau. Just another reason to pay no attention to Rousseau. But for worse or for worse, Marie is the poster girl for callous indifference to human suffering.

In contrast, Harry Reid’s comment is fully documented, yet he is getting a pass. Particularly from the intellectual heirs of Rousseau.
