I heard "Let them eat cake."

Both in the sense that this is a bullshit thing to say, and in the sense that this is the sort of thing that, if misquoted, could get innocent (at least of saying something like that) people hurt.

I hear it more as "Let them eat cock", there's no implication of naiveté in his statement, just malice.
