Palin fielding 950 requests for speeches

[Dr.House]

Yeah, she's gonna be rich. Rich and irrelevant, like Rush, Sean and Glenn.

If Palin, Rush and Beck are soooo irrelevant, why all the shrieking shit storms from the moonbat lefty slime machine??

We laugh at them. You do realize that correct?

Speaking of a shrieking shitsrtorm, there's Zona...

 

[sarahgop]

she is a great libertarian

 

[goldcatt]

Hey, I'd go see her. I don't like her as a leader, but she's entertaining as hell.
I wouldn't pay for it though. Guess that defeats the purpose of her getting filthy rich, doesn't it?
Oh well, more power to her whatever she does as long as she's not in a position where she has to read a map.

Palin fielding 950 requests for speeches

How could she find the time to give 950 speeches?

It would interfere with her reading all of her newspapers.

Can I get a newspaper to write an article on me anytime I plan a trip to Asia? Who gives a fuck? I hope she enjoys the Great Wall of China.

[rdean]

Man, I hope she does all 950. Imagine five years worth of new material for Saturday Night Live.

Yes indeed...

"The former Alaska governor will visit Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers, the host announced Monday."

From another article:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's first major speaking engagement after leaving office won't be in Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina.

Instead, she's apparently headed to Hong Kong.

According to the Hong Kong-based brokerage firm CLSA, Palin will be the keynote speaker at their 16th annual investor's conference in September. The conference of financial heavy-hitters brings together hundreds of CEOs, CIOs and fund managers from around the world. In agreeing to speak, Palin's joining some esteemed company: past speakers at the conference have included Bill Clinton, Alan Greenspan, Al Gore and Desmond Tutu.

Speakers usually get paid a flat fee per engagement... It's rarely a portion of the gate kind of deal...

How in the hell can you compare a poll done over two months ago (before the QUITTER even quit) to the current one you cite on Obama.

One word: Fail.

It is too early to say Obama has "failed". True, his most recent approval numbers are even lower than Palin's, but he may actually regain his political footing.

Then again, he may not...

True, but for political figures there's usually a fundraiser involved. Which means charging enough to cover the fee and still make a profit. You don't really pay a thousand bucks for the chicken.

They can slip Tina Fey in and most wouldn't even notice.

Your poster should say "Yeah, I'd quit that."

Probably cheaper, too.
Hell, I don't wish her ill. If she can make a mint and live it up I say go for it. I just wish she would stay out of politics.

Given his most recent polling numbers, it appears a majority of Americans feel much the same way about Obama...

It still ends up being a flat fee paid to the speaker... The organization pockets the gate...
