Hillary's speaking fees have always been astronomical (pretty much on par with the Clenis, although the Clenis bagged a high of $450K in a gig he spoke at in London in 2006). GWB asks between $100K-$150K, which is about what Colin Powell gets.
Some of this crap is actually funny, but when you're trying to sell yourself as being "one of the little people", somehow that just doesn't ring true when you're making this kind of money for running your yap.
Yeah, I know, if you're such a celebrity that people are willing to pay you that kind of money, more power to you. But we're talking Hillary here. Stinky, distasteful, slimy, shitty Hillary.
Over the Thanksgiving week, the Washington Post obtained rare email exchanges between Hillary’s representatives and UCLA regarding her planned speech appearance. When the fee was being discussed, UCLA asked if there was a special rate after being given the $300k figure.
Her representatives said that is the special rate, but don’t you dare forget Madam Secretary’s hummus (via WaPo):
