Well he’s kind of like those two guys who do the Sonic commercials, they seem to have steady work.

She made $1M/year as VP of Paper Clips at the Klinton Kartel, and they say there was literally never a paper clip out of place which speaks very highly of her. Good luck at the new gig, don't work too hard.

Average yearly salary for an Expedia board director...$141,901.00.

Add to that yearly cash bonuses, stock bonuses and commissions, the average salary then rises to $162,047.00 of personal compensation received EVERY 365 DAYS !!!

Nice sinecure, Chelsea....you've learned from your expert grifter parents how to parlay the name into riches beyond belief!

She’ll be paid a lot of money for doing nothing.

[CyberAnt]

Does this mean she will be able to travel everywhere at no cost; especially now that the “Clinton Foundation” is no longer available to take care of her every need ..??????

Expedia just lost me as a customer. I used to use them several times per year for flights and hotels... Not any more.

Avoid Expedia

A year or two ago, I was reading the frequent flyer boards and came across
http://matrix.itasoftware.com/
Lots of different boards and flyer bloggers reference it.

You can look for flights either for specific days or over a month long period. Choose a range of how many days you want to stay, 7 day max range, ei. 1-7, 3-10, 7-14, etc., and they’ll find the cheapest options. Sometimes a 6 day might be cheaper than a 5 or 7 day, but 4 day might be cheaper still. Either all the airlines or specific airlines.
Definitely finds the cheapest airline tickets for any class.
Can’t buy the tickets through them, BUT take the info you get from them and either go to a travel agent, or go to the airline themselves. Either way works.

Numerous times I’ve done better than Expedia’s sites.

As far as hotels, just call the hotels direct. Just learn to dicker a little. Nearly always DO BETTER than the online sites.

Frequent flyer boards are a great resource for learning travel tips.

Oh great. Another Clinton meddling with a ‘travel office’...

#26....thanks for the list.

“Because of her stellar qualifications no doubt.”

That’s gotta be it!!

Why do progressives have to infest everything? I’ve used Expedia for years all over the world. Hopefully they won’t infect bookings.com

Her new job has something to do with the roaming gnome.

Don't ask me what she's going to do with it/him...

And the liberals hate the 1 per cent

"She’ll be paid a lot of money for doing nothing."

Well, that's no different from any of the others positions she's had.

[glorgau]

Oh well, last time I use Expedia. There are scads of alternatives out there.

Stupid decision on the company’s part to engage in such transparently political posturing.
