Maybe they relesed the actual contract today but there were stories on this here at FR sometime back. I’ll check and see of I can find any.

CSU just released the contract today, a few hours ago.

Should they suck it up a bendy straw or a straight one?

“Controversy”? It’s not like she asked to build a mosque at Ground Zero or anything. I mean, “bendy straw” vs. “mosque at ground zero”?

I agree. I used to support Sarah Palin but now that I know she demanded bendy straws......well, that was the last straw. What a horrible woman../s

Knowing how the media is, will it kill her if they don’t put a bendable straw? I mean it’s just an hour-long speech, you’re not buying a house or a car.

I read about this on FR some time ago, the release of this contract not withstanding.

Okay, thanks. See if you can also find references to bendy straws and all the specific dollar amounts. I always try to avoid posting duplicates and old news, but sometimes overlook stuff.

The courts made CSU release the contract.

What I want to know is if Sarah and WSB waived the confidential agreement.

Sounds like a reasonable contract, a good profit for the foundation, and that they were lucky to land her. The only possible gotcha is if she referred to the original report as ‘lies’ when it was 100% accurate.

as far as I’m aware Palin didn’t attack the lame stream media for misreporting, but their obsession that she requested bendable straws. That somehow its so scandalous that they have to report about it

Conservatives generating funds in California may be a bigger issue.

>> Senator Leland Yee questioned how much the school was spending to bring the former Alaskan Governor to the school for a fundraiser.

>> According to a press release issued by the school last month, the university brought in $473,000 from Palin's appearance, with $207,000 in net proceeds.

Okay, then. It’s not old news. It’s new news.

As I’ve said, when were all these specific dollar amounts released?

I think what you are talking about are old rumors the left tried to smear Palin with. This story has the facts, except the lamestream media is still trying to smear her for asking for a couple of bendy straws, etc., lol. They never give up.

I read recently about one of those prima-dona rock bands that insisted that all the blue M&Ms be removed from the bowls that were set out back stage. The bandleader said that this was true, but the reason was that they relied on venues to do massive detail work with equipment and structural setups, and some of this was even life critical, dangerous if screwed up.

They use the M&Ms like canaries in the coal mine, so that if the venue was sloppy with the M&Ms, they couldn’t trust anything else that their lives or performance relied upon.

Great! She’s like all the other women I know.

Bendy straw to keep makeup and lipstick perfect and bottled water because it comes in a handy and easily gripped container.

It’s not like she asked for Petrus or anything.
