CNN: State Dept. purchasing $5MIL in crystal glasses right before shutdown has a ‘let them eat cake’ quality

Last night CNN reported on the State Dept. purchasing around $5 million in crystal glassware just as the government was coming to a grinding halt. That’s right, $5 million on glasses. All the while, as CNN host Erin Burnett points out, we are still having issues with embassy security around the world. But even so, to do it as we are shutting down the government, remarks CNN reporter Tom Foreman, has a ‘let them eat cake’ quality to it.
