She’s probably not familiar with that strata of society. Looking for papers linked to her was most likely secondary to obtaining dinner.
From the article:
Friday's sold-out dinner will bring in more than $200,000, making the gala the most successful fundraiser in the university's history, said university foundation board president Matt Swanson.(snip)
In preparation for the 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate's arrival, workers transformed the dining hall into a glitzy gala hall, draped with crimson tablecloths, festooned with orchids and surrounded by chain-link fences.
So...if this is the most successful fundraiser they've ever had, and they're using the homely, lowly dining hall on campus (not some 5-star hotel/restaurant) so the guests are actually at the College, then who cares what Palin's speaking fee was?! or that they needed temporary security fencing?
SHEESH! What a bunch of morons!
I would say, raise the voting age to 21 for all college students, except one of the "student" protestors/"divers" is 26...she should get a life.
Yes Ms. Lewis its because they have security concerns due to people like you.
