Because conservatives haven't said a damn thing worth quoting for centuries, if ever.

She really said this? She is the Gwyneth Paltrow of the political world. How fucking clueless can you get?

Except, in Marie Antoinette's defense, she never actually said that.
Unlike Princess Trump....

(15,981 posts)9. That whole article is vomit inducing (good read though)
"My company was not just meeting the lifestyle needs of today's modern professional woman with versatile, well-designed products," Trump writes, undermining the care she has taken in interviews to avoid appearing as if she's using her position to promote her brand. "It was celebrating those needs, at a price point she could afford."
Then there's this other beauty!!!
For instance, on the subject of asking for a raise, she quotes another black women writing on racism, Maya Angelou: "Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it." Ivanka's version
But the real, very different line is from Angelou's memoir The Heart of a Woman, and it is a piece of advice about living in a racist world. "Ask for what you want," Angelou's mother tells her, "and be prepared to pay for what you get."
Clueless, no class just like the rest of her family!!!
