The reaction from around the Twitterverse to news that a university paid $65,000 for Chelsea Clinton to make a brief appearance in 2014 can largely be summed up in one word.
What?!
Tuesday morning, the Washington Post reported the University of Missouri at Kansas City was looking for a celebrity speaker to headline a gala luncheon, and initially reached out to Hillary Clinton. But when Clintons representatives quoted a fee of $275,000, officials balked.
So they turned to the Democratic presidential front-runners daughter. As reported by the Post, the university paid $65,000 for Chelsea Clintons appearance.

Hey - have some compassion.
Chelsea has to pay off those massive plastic surgery facial reconstruction bills somehow.
Momma Hillary! couldn’t get them all covered by Obamacare before she skulked off from the State Department.

I’ve never been to that university, but judging from its name, I’ll go out on a limb and assume it is located in Kansas City. I’d be willing to bet that they could have lined up George Brett as a speaker for less than $65,000, and heard something more worth listening to.

Nope-—it’s the University of Missouri that is in the toilet.
The taxpayers should be enraged about this.

I can’t imagine listening to Chelsea let alone paying $65,000 for the privilege. What could she have to say that might be of interest to anyone? Of course her mother’s smarmy and condescending rhetoric is enough to make your flesh crawl.

“And like, um, when I was six or nine, I really really liked the Animaniacs. But know that I'm, like, a grown up, my new heroes are Mao, Chowcess...somebody from Romania cuz he was really big on gun control and this one guy from the 1940’s in Germany named after a meat tenderizer that had a mustache that looked like the one that silent film guy had, but he was for really big government like my mom!”
...yeah, that's worth $65K...

If they wanted a celebrity, why didn’t they get a local weatherman?

University of Missouri at Kansas City paid the fee.
I’m shocked “academia” demonstrated a lack of common sense.
