No reports if Kofi revealed how much cash-for-oil he and his family received from Saddam...

Ha HA...Edwards only got $50K for speaking about poverty at UC Davis.

"It's a large budget, and you have young, inexperienced people (in student government)...i.e. too much money in the hands of idiots. I wouldn't have paid 16 cents to hear him talk.

Edwards is obviously an amateur compared to Kofi when it comes to swindling.
To: george76
Just overcharging people no one else would overcharge. Nothing new!

I wouldn’t pay $1.60 to listen to this worthless, corrupt, meaningless cipher talk about anything.
He’s a nobody, a nonenity. A glib parasite.

It is so sweet that they are helping out some poor African victim of the greedy capitalists. I know that Kofi will donate the money to help combat malaria and malnutrition back home.

A fool and our money are soon parted, but unfortunately the fool gets to decide who gets it. Hey Colorado! Aren’t you just ever so proud of your University and the taxes you get to pay so they can give your money to someone like Kofi? Well don’t feel too bad, almost all Universities would have done the same thing, to our everlasting shame.

Not just raising tuition, but raising tuition 14.5 percent!
To: george76
oh come on people. if some approached you and said 100,000 was a fair price to hear you speak for an hour, you’d do it. this lies purely with the students. actually, it’s the faculty.
To: george76
Of the $160,000, Annan received $100,000. The rest was for transportation, lodging, food and two security men...Dang, they must have stayed somewhere pretty swanky.

Once I sent an e-mail to Kofi. I wrote to him that I use the U.N. flag to wipe my boots. No kidding, I really sent it to him. LOL!

Whoever approved Kofi’s entry visa should go to jail. I think we have laws against granting visas to known criminals.

60K for transportation, food, lodging and security for a one hour speech? What numbskull approved that budget? Oh, the same one that decided to give kofi 100K.

But it’s too bad when it’s someone else’s money. Mom and dad pay most student fees, which means that they were the ones ripped off.
