Hillary for hire: Clinton charges $300,000 for speeches

.....A newly published story in the Washington Post notes that Clinton often earns $300,000 or more per speech. On top of that, the prominent Democrat places many a demand on those who want to book her, including having “room temp sparkling and still water” and “two long rectangular (chair) pillows” on hand, according to the contract negotiations the Post obtained.

Clinton’s fees have surprised some who booked her, according to the Post story. When UCLA hired her to give a talk earlier this year, a university official noted that Clinton’s spouse—as in former President Bill Clinton—came cheaper. “Wow! She (gets) $50k more than hubby!”

Dead broke.

[RoosterRedux]

Sounds like she’s decided not to run and simply make as much money as possible.

[Charles Henrickson]

She would have to pay me at least $30—maybe $300—to listen to one of her speeches.

[ealgeone]

For a woman who has accomplished so little in life.

How can I get on this speaking tour??

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

My last donation to UCLA.. They are done.

[vette6387]

Just another high-priced whore!

[Phlap]

I could see $300,000.00 to get her to STFU, but to hear her speak, they would have to pay me a lot more than that.

[nascarnation]

High paying speeches...so much more fun than sitting at a screen trading cattle futures...

[GeronL]

She is one of the little people.... lol

I still say she ain’t running, she is just making as much money as she can in the meanwhile.

[GeronL]

I was saying that months ago.

having “room temp sparkling and still water” and “two long rectangular (chair) pillows"

And NO brown M&Ms.

[I want the USA back]

The fees are thinly-disguised campaign contributions.

I would not pay 10 cents to hear that shrill shriveled up old hag talk.

I have serious trouble with any organization throwing this kind of money to Hillary. If anyone wants to speak at a university (public or private, it it's charging tuition), they should do so for free. JMHO

[SoFloFreeper]

Van Halen she ain’t.

[MUDDOG]

Did you see the article in Wall Street Journal this year about Van Halen's seemingly ridiculous demands?

Turns out they weren't so ridiculous. What the band was really concerned about was the stage set-up, e.g., pyrotechnics, cranes, etc., which had a real safety impact on the band members.

Since they couldn't very easily check the equipment and had to depend on the auditorium crews, the band figured if the M&Ms were done right, the stage stuff would be too.

"We made our money through dint of hard work"
---- Hilderbeast on why it's ok for her to be part of the 1%

[upchuck]

300K for this?

Ya gotta be kidding!

[hal ogen]

Pure, unadulturated criminal hag.

[DaveA37]

We can hear that hag on TV anytime we want and when she speaks, we turn the TV off, just the same as when odumbo speaks. Can't stand listening to either of the phonies.

[hal ogen]

I’d listen to her criminal trial...at least, her sentencing.
