In Demand: Former Governor Sarah Palin

Politico's Mike Allen is reporting that since resigning as governor July 26, Sarah Palin has received over 1,070 requests to deliver paid speeches and make political appearances:

More than 950 requests for speeches have poured in for Palin, and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear, including folks running for Senate, House and state legislature, aides said.

Palin will be doing both paid speeches, which are expected to go for six figures apiece, and unpaid speeches for political and charitable causes, including Christian organizations, groups that support families with special-needs children, and military families.

Allen says the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate has signed with Washington Speakers Bureau after getting offers from 20 similar agencies to represent her. The Politico pundit also has a progress report on the former governor's work on writing her memoir:

She’s about 85 percent finished with her book, due out this spring from HarperCollins. Then she’ll begin looking through the inch-and-a-half-thick file her lawyer, Robert Barnett, has built of offers for network and cable pundit gigs, documentaries and business opportunities.

Meanwhile, the moonbat mantra from the liberals is that Sarah Palin is "irrelevant." They should tell that to the people who are making six-figure offers for a few hours of former Governor Palin's time.
