If she hits the campaign trail as expected, Americans will have all the Hillary Clinton speeches they could possibly want, but for now she charges $300,000, according to communications the Washington Post obtained with a Freedom of Information Act request.
Emails about an appearance at UCLA earlier this year reveal that $300,000 is the reduced rate for public universities, and the Clinton team requested "coffee, tea, room temp sparkling and still water, diet ginger ale, crudité, hummus and sliced fruit," backstage. The meticulous planning included discussion of everything down to the color of the chairs, the emails reveal, and the university had to scramble to find a different podium after Clinton's team rejected one.
The fee, like others Clinton received from universities, went to the Clinton Foundation—and in one email, a UCLA official expressed amazement that Hillary was paid $50,000 more than husband Bill received for a 2012 speech. University administrators also discussed an email from a graduate wondering why UCLA was charging more than $250 for speech tickets. "In effect, this is a campaign appearance, as Ms. Clinton is undeniably looking into a presidential run in 2016," he wrote. "Why is a public university charging the public for the pleasure of providing Ms. Clinton the benefit of a high profile platform?" Officials looked up how much money the graduate had donated to the university and suggested not replying "unless he pushes."
Isn't she married to Weiner?
It’s amazing.
The Clintons’ speech dough makes cattle futures and POTUS pardon bribes look like pocket change....
Yes, Huma is the singular of Hummus. It’s Latin.
It’s a way to funnel tax money to Clinton’s Presidential campaign.
She’s a fat hag with a terrible fashion sense and yet she wants fruit and color-coordinated furniture? I’m not buying.
Hummus...hmmm. Did they misspell Hamas?
She’d be stupid not to charge what iditos & fools are willing to pay.
It’s influence peddling.
A lot of outfits are hedging against her being POTUS in ‘17.
Money laundering.
But how can anyone put a price on integrity, honesty, and leadership?
And what difference does it make, anyway?
So...Huma turned Hillary on to hummus. Where else would Hill get the Middle Eastern influence?
The arrogant sense of entitlement is breathtaking.

They go to all the trouble of putting out all that healthy stuff and she’s still shaped like a bowling ball.
It’s a way to funnel tax money to Clinton’s Presidential campaign.
That’s exactly what it is. Taxpayers fund the university and the university turns around and gives it to Hillary.
What has she ever done to deserve $300,000 for one speech?
Hillary’s SS codename is The Flying Buttress.
Give her manure and tell her she’ll take it and like it.
Manure is what the clintons have been giving America for years.
Much like the DNC began their attack on Romney early on (OWS, Book of Mormon, smear of Bain Capital) the RNC should start running ads telling the truth about Hillary ASAP.
