Quotable Coakley
While not up to the sheer callousness of the famous quote most probably uttered by Marie-Therese of Spain (not Marie Antoinette)...
Qu'ils mangent de la brioche - Let them eat cake."
Martha Coakley does make a plebeian attempt at a quote equally feckless.
"As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park? In the cold? Shaking hands?'
Let's translate that to give it the proper diction!
"Par opposition à debout à l'extérieur de Fenway Park? Dans le froid? Poignées de main?"
It is called campaigning, lady.
The left was fond of saying George Bush Sr. was born with a silver spoon "or foot", but Martha Coakley wants it all delivered on a silver platter.
