Yee gods! CA State Senator caught grandstanding

*
Yee gods! A California State Senator has been caught shoplifting grandstanding. Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, demands to know how much Sarah Palin will be paid in speakers fees for her appearance at California State University Stanislaus’ 50th Anniversary Gala on June 25th. This is the kind of thing Yee is known for when he isn't being caught shoplifting or cruising for prostitutes.

Never mind that the standard contract for all events booked through the Washington Speakers Bureau for Gov. Palin prevents disclosure of such fees, Yee is determined not to let such a trivial detail as the terms of a legal contract get in his way to grandstand for all the votes from the Palin-hating, aging hippies who are registered in San Mateo County.

Never mind also that no university money is being spent on the fund raising event or that all proceeds — an anticipated $100,000 to $200,000 — will go into university programs, such as scholarships and chair endowments, according to CSU Stanislaus Foundation president Matt Swanson. Yee knows that Sarah Palin is publicity gold, and by Gaia, he's going to leech some off for himself. Sarah Palin brings out the inner moonbat in leftist Democrats such as Lee, and they can't abide her success.
