Well, now that I said that [commencement speakers don’t get paid], I know that that’s not altogether accurate.
Honoraria are indeed offered, but are often waived by the speaker or designated to some charity.

More to the point, was Clinton offered an honorarium and could he accept it? His wife’s presidential candidacy might have made that a sticky issue, considering his front and center campaign role and the conflation of their personal funds with campaign cash.

Maybe they withdrew an honorarium offer? My opinion is that billy wouldn't do it--or anything else--without silver crossing his palm.

Do you remember an old bumper sticker, "Grass, Gas or Ass: Nobody Rides for Free"? That sums up my idea of clinton.
