Poor, broke Hillary needs the money... $50 million is just chump change...

Of course, that shows fiscally irresponsible such a person would be as president

'$225,000? That's obscene!': Hillary Clinton will collect massive speaking fee from Nevada university as students grapple with tuition hikes

real public servant. /s

[Ditter]

I think she has screw up big time with the “we wuz broke” thing. More ordinary people will pick up on this than what she said about poor Ben Gazi. snort//>

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The most amusing part of the story is the comments under it, especially the ones trying to defend her and saying that the criticism is just “Hillary bashing.”

[leapfrog0202]

As you said, she’s broke and understands the other poor people’s struggles...she needs that money.

[grania]

I disagree with ANYONE getting a fee or expenses to speak at a graduation. They should do it for the honor. Let those colleges split the money among the grads as a refund on their tuition for successfully completing their program.

The silver lining.....hillary has dug a hole so deep that any competent politician should be able to destroy her chances (if they want to)

[Steely Tom]

Hey, give her a break.

Her life expectations are just not the same as those of ordinary people.

You wouldn’t understand.

[Former Fetus]

Can any Freeper with the ability Photo Shop Hillary in a Walmart uniform? I can think on a million opportunities to use the pic.

And we get this fantastic news through a UK newspaper.

Foreign media... doing the job American media refuses to do.

[pgyanke]

WHY IN THE HELL DO WE PAY PUBLIC “SERVANTS” TAXPAYER MONEY TO SPEAK AT TAXPAYER-FUNDED UNIVERSITIES?!?!?

Supposedly, it’s to enhance the educational experience. Fine. Pay their freight (room and board)... nothing else! Damn ingrates.

"I shall remember to pay it, to myself."
- Sydney Greenstreet in Casablanca

Every University is loaded up to the gills with government money, either directly or through the giant pool of money the government throws into the student-aid kitty, allowing schools to jack up their prices and blot up the spill.

So the government is paying a lot of money to Hillary, who has never not been "the government" at some level.

Who are we to complain? It's the government's money - they confiscated it from us under threat of imprisonment, fair and square.

[Lorianne]

Oh c’mon. She needs the money!

Students should pay more for tuition and fees if their college can get the big name speakers like this!

[razorback-bert]

We should mail Hillary some food stamp applications.

Money laundering through speaking fees is common among fellow Marxists.

Look for Reid to be behind this

[nascarnation]

I remember back in 2001 when BJ went the extra mile and had to give one extra speech to cover Chelsea’s Stanford tuition for 4 yrs....

[all the best]

How about some income equality. What is the average wage of Americans? Well she should get that for her speech just in deference to her principals. Give her a generous 25 bucks.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

I think they would probably have to pay me more than that to sit and listen to her.
