Proves that Rooty cares more about the green than the country.
Why does he get paid so much to speak anyway?
Becuase he's a celebrity, and corporations pay stupid money to have big name speakers at their annual conventions in Ft Lauderdale, Vegas, or wherever it happens to be that year.
Rudy became a big name after 9-11, and has been profiting off of it ever since. Tommy Franks was doing ok for a little while, til Iraq turned into a quagmire. I don't think he gets many gigs now. There's always Tony Robbins.
