A college balks at Hillary Clinton’s fee, so books Chelsea for $65,000 instead

When the University of Missouri at Kansas City was looking for a celebrity speaker to headline its gala luncheon marking the opening of a women’s hall of fame, one name came to mind: Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But when the former secretary of state’s representatives quoted a fee of $275,000, officials at the public university balked. “Yikes!” one e-mailed another.

So the school turned to the next best option: her daughter, Chelsea.

The university paid $65,000 for Chelsea Clinton’s brief appearance Feb. 24, 2014, a demonstration of the celebrity appeal and marketability that the former and possibly second-time first daughter employs on behalf of her mother’s presidential campaign and family’s global charitable empire.

Honestly, there is NOTHING that worthless child could say that would even require a $1 fee.

Not only has she never had an original idea, it is very possible that she’s never even had an idea at all.

Didn’t Chelsea declare she was not into money?

Yes. She was just practicing her Clintonian lying skills hoping to someday rise to the proficiency of her parents.

Imagine that, a know-nothing daughter of a crooked Arkansas lawyer getting $65,000 to speak...on anything!

Let the parents of THOSE STUDENTS think about that when they shell out the tuition money for their kids at that school.

The difference between today’s universities and re-education camps is that the parents actually pay a whole lot of money to send their offspring to get re-educated out of all the values their parents instilled in them through their lifetimes.

Universities have the goal of invalidating EVERYTHING the student walks in there with.

And Ms. Chelsea, what are your qualifications.

Um, you know, like my name, and um, like my DNA and um, you know, well duh, like I don’t have male genitalia.

Income Inequality Question: How much of the speaker’s fee will be shared with her staff and personal assistants. Will the people who clean up the venue get a little extra in their paychecks?

How much for her daughter Charlotte and a nanny to push her carriage around? Even with a full diaper she would be pumping out less crap that mother or grandmother.

Until you have killed four State Dept. employees you are not ready to give a good speech. You need to lie to Congress and delete 20,000 or 30,000 emails. The girl needs to pick up her game if she wants the big bucks.
