Palin paying off, officials say: Speaking fee already more than covered by ticket sales

Imagine that: A "washed-up", "has-been", "moron" is drawing thousands of paying guests just to hear her speak.

At least she didn't create a phony scam called Global Warming, create and invest in a Carbon Credit Exchange to cheat & hurt American businesses.

>>Officials say they have sold 27 sponsorship packages costing $5,000 that give the buyers choice seats at Sunday’s speech plus dinner and a photo-op with Palin afterward. <<

vs $36,000/plate for the rich, brain-dead Obamatons just to hear more BS and lies from the left coast fundraiser by the golfer in chief.

Sounds to me like a lot of moonbats are just jealous of the ‘controversial’ Gov Palin. If Sarah can make 115K for one speech then she obviously has something to say that people want to hear.

For balance they can invite noted professor Bill Ayres to speak on: "Direct action against a police station".

The local leftists will climb the fence to get in to see that, but I doubt they would pay admission.

Still, the disadvantaged could probably be admitted free.

I suggest Ayres start his talk with: "Now wait until you get home, then....."

If it wasn’t for San Joaquin valley and Kings County being mentioned in the article, I would’ve thought it was Hanford, Washington. Even going to the link wasn’t helpful.

Next time PLEASE remember to put the name of the state at the top of the article. For example:

(Hanford CA) West Hills College Lemoore officials say...

LOL, In a whiny little liberal voice "But, but the Palins shouldn't be allowed to make any money, it's just wrong".

the democrats are turning green with envy. Or is it greener

Not to mention that relatively speaking, Lemoore and Hanford are in the middle of nowhere between Fresno and...nowhere.

Given it's proximity to Fresno (home of FreeRepublic) I'm surprised there are still tickets available.

Sad, but so true.
Think times are changing though.

I got to hear Palin speech for free at a tea party in Phoenix. I did not even know she was going to be there.

What's not to like?

[rikkir]

Right on, and what did she draw on a snowy afternoon in Madison a couple of weeks ago? 14,000 people showed up to here someone whose time has passed, and who America hates so bad she can never be elected.
Yeah...Right! LOL

[Hojczyk]

I hope she runs... have always said she is Ronald Reagan in a skirt...First saw her on the Larry Kudlow show

"If people wish to waste their money to hear Ms. Palin speak, that is their business; however, as an educational institution West Hills should not be promoting someone who, by abandoning her professional responsibilities and by regularly spouting misinformation and lies, sets a poor example to those students who wish to actually improve their lives by working hard to educate themselves with facts and knowledge," said Scott Tucker, a frequent commentator on the Sentinel website.

"I'd have no problem with the freak show in the White House showing up, though" he added.

Isn’t Lemoore a Navy town?

[rikkir]

I am working towards that end. A lot of us believe she will, and that speaking engagements like these encourage her.
The biggest issue I believe she is grappling with, if there is any, and it’s not just timing, is the family issue. If there is anything that gives Sarah pause about running for President, it’s the toll it will take on the family, especially Trig, and Todd.
She’s not even announced and look at the disgusting things being said about that baby. She’s developed a thick skin, and the ability to throw the attacks back in their face, but I know based on everything I have read about her as a person, she would lay down her life for a member of her family, and she cares much more about them than she does anything else.
I say Todd’s already convinced her to run. He’s her true north on the compass.

One of the reasons the elites don’t like her is that when she walks in the door, she sucks up all the oxygen in the room. The elites can’t even breath to speak.

A great attribute for a President in my book.
