I guess I’m going to start hating her now that she’s making all that money. Thanks, ABC News, for keeping me informed.

I see similar articles all the time about the Clintons, Al Gore, Tom Daschle, etc.

/sarcasm

Good.

I only wish it was a hundred million. I’m a fan of capitalism.

God bless her and her family.

THE MSM went after her in a feeding frenzy and now they’re shocked that she has more than enough notoriety to make a living off the fame they bestowed upon her?

She made millionaire’s lemonade from the lemons they threw at her. Good for her.

I hope this covers the legal fees from the frivolous lawsuits that her opponents kept filing on phony ethics charges when she was in office as Governor. Even so, she deserves to be paid well to live in comfort and not have to go bankrupt because people did not like her or her policies. Sarah isn’t going away and I am thankful for that.

"Sarah Palin Has Earned an Estimated $12 Million Since July "

You beat me to it.

I was just going to say that Hillary got that much for a book that she didn't even write, and nobody bought.

Palin’s making so much money may be what ultimately convinces those originally persuaded to the contrary that she’s very bright indeed.

Obama has made millions, and he hasn’t even done anything yet, let alone written a book.

Scintillating news. May she get a gazillion more (and provide the impetus for a gazillion dollars in Pepto Bismol purchases by envious, dyspeptic liberals).

And why hasn't the Press gone after Mike Huckabee? Could it be because they want this loser to run?

Wonder how much money he has made since the last campaign?

Today, it's front page news here in Arkansas, that Janet Huckabee is now an official Florida resident and has the drivers license to prove it. Yep, she's loving the Miramar Beach (Destin) area so much shes decided to call it her "home".

The Huckster is so busy dividing his time between New York, Florida and rarely Arkansas that he's forgotten where he came from. For the most part, his North Little Rock Mansion sits empty.

The libs hate anyone who has actually earned money due to their abilities.

They love the Obamaloon, who never did anything and never will...but he’s doing all that nothing with other people’s money.

No, we (some of us) think it is less than worthy of respect for an elected official to quit mid-term in order to pursue personal enrichment of the financial kind.

These Communists are in high dudgeon about this and yet they have said/written NOTHING about Al Gore making nearly $1 Billion in his Global Warming scam!

Hypocrite, thy name is Democrat!
