If Hillary Clinton's Speaking Fee of $237,000 Is Too Much For You, You Can Hire Her Useless Failure-Puddle of a Daughter for $65,000What the Clintons lack in dignity, they make up for in graft. I know I'm way late on this but can I just say: Oh my shit. Wow. Racism is a powerful animating force. And yes, this is racism. This is Female Superiority Racism mixed with Liberal Comfortable Class Tribalism Racism. This is all about paying someone to stand as an avatar for one's own Superiority. You can make a lot of money by giving the unaccomplished a racial or chromosomal excuse to feel that they're Important, too. When the University of Missouri at Kansas City was looking for a celebrity speaker to headline its gala luncheon marking the opening of a women's hall of fame, one of the names that came to mind was Hillary Rodham Clinton. Now, let's see what a University gets for it's $65,000. Or what I call "full ride for a deserving underprivileged student." The schedule she negotiated called for her to speak for 10 minutes, participate in a 20-minute, moderated question-and-answer session and spend a half-hour posing for pictures with VIPs offstage. That long, huh? I hope she's monitoring her pulse rate. That kind of pace can kill someone. As with Hillary Clinton’s paid speeches at universities, Chelsea Clinton made no personal income from the appearance, her spokesman said, and directed her fee to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. Yes... and let's pretend that Foundation doesn't pay for their wardrobe, offices, transportation, travel, and five man staffs. (Yes, Chelsea has a five man staff.) You know what most people call those things? The cost of living. (Plus, jet plane rides and five-man staffs!) So yes, they are in fact being paid by the Foundation. If I started a "charity" and contracted to pay all your food and rent costs for the rest of your life, would you claim that you were being 'uncompensated"?
So the university turned back to others, eventually choosing Chelsea Clinton when the agency indicated she was willing. Just shy of her 34th birthday, Clinton commanded a higher fee than other prominent women speakers who were considered, including feminist icon Gloria Steinem ($30,000) and journalists Cokie Roberts ($40,000), Tina Brown ($50,000) and Lesley Stahl ($50,000), the records show. Chelsea's done so much more, just by being born to Hillary Clinton and... well it really doesn't matter. Officials with the school appeared to believe Clinton was worth her fee, which university spokesman John Martellaro said was paid using private donations. They exulted to Clinton’s representatives that the luncheon sold out quickly, with 1,100 tickets selling for $35 each -- which would equal $38,500. University officials say the event was intended to boost attention for the new hall of fame, not raise money. So you funneled money to the Clintons at a fundraiser, lost money (as usual), and then you say "It wasn't about the money anyway, it was a about the attention?" What f***ing attention? Who the hell ever heard of this before now? I'm reading an article about this "hall" you supposedly boosted the profile of and I can't name the hall or guess what this hall's function is. This was about funneling other people's money to political figures the left likes -- as usual. "Chelsea was the perfect fit," Amy Loughman, an alumni relations official who managed the event, wrote in an e-mail a few days later. "It created fantastic buzz in the community." She created fantastic buzz on NBC News, too, before she was fired for having the charisma of a urinal cake. ... Because it didn't. What can this charmless, talentless, pointless woman do except collect graft-checks on behalf of her parents? The university paid the fee -- which also covered Clinton’s travel expenses -- in two disbursements to the Walker Agency. But Martellaro said, "We have no knowledge of how funds were disbursed from that point." Because it's not charity. Oh now let's look at the contract, which has more riders in it than Van Halen did at the peak of their popularity. The contract stipulated that Clinton would have final approval of everything, such as the selection of her introducer (celebrities, journalists and elected officials were prohibited from consideration), the onstage setup (there must be "room-temperature water" next to her podium along with "two comfortable armed-and-backed chairs" for the question-and-answer session) and the type of microphone provided for her use (both lavaliere and handheld). There's so many of them, who could list them all? She exists. Oh, there you go. I just did list them all. Not as hard as I thought. ... You know what there's no news about? Anything Chelsea Clinton said there that day. For $65,000 for thirty minutes' work, you'd think that this graceless walking graft-bag could have said something interesting or insightful, no? But no, no one expects anything from the Clintons; no accomplishments, no successes. Just nothing but an extended hand, palm up, demanding their next pay-off.
