As we reported Tuesday, a state assemblyman from the People's Republik of San Francisco has his thong in a knot over the amount of the speakers fee that the CSU Stanislaus Foundation is paying Gov. Palin's agent, the Washington Speakers Bureau. Under terms of her WSB contract, the amount of the fee is not to be disclosed.
Meanwhile, the fallout from a dispute between Tea Party Nation's founder and one a disgruntled former member has led to a lawsuit has rekindled the fires surrounding the amount of the fee Gov. Palin was paid for her speech at the Tea Party National Convention in February.
Why are people, especially the Left and its media flea circus, so obsessed over how much Sarah Plain gets paid to deliver a speech? We don't recall this sort of hysteria about the fees that Bill Clinton or Al Gore charge for speaking. Has Palin Derangement Syndrome so rotted the brains of Gov. Palin's political foes that they can no longer concentrate on Things That Really Matter?
Update: Newspaper publisher Bill Mattos, who was a member of the California State University Stanislaus Foundation for over 15 years, writes in an op-ed:
"Many who oppose Palin’s visit want to know how much she will be paid (in recent speeches she has earned up to $100,000), but the foundation is prohibited from releasing that information per her contract. What those who care about the university should be asking is 'How much will we raise for the students.'"Mattos figures Gov. Palin's appearance could bring in $200,000 or more to the CSU Stanislaus Scholarship Fund.

The new talking point appears to be that Sarah Palin's only motivating factor in anything she does now is money.
ReplyDeleteSee my blog for more info...it features yesterday's Washington Journal, in which multiple people all said she was only in it for the money.
If that businessman had a problem with Judson Phillips, why is he suing to know Palin's speaking fees? How's that important in anyway?
