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.

just the beginning of Chelsea Clinton’s presidential campaign tour
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.....................
Man, for $65,000....you could get both Pete Rose and Rob Schneider to show up at the same gig.

Didn’t Chelsea declare she was not into money?

rotten apples.
All of them.
Let's not forget just how shallow these people are.
It's not the nature of the evidence (character of the speaker), it's the seriousness of the charge (notoriety of the celebrity).
Why not get a woman who has done something..
...
Lying and cheating doesn’t count? Chelsea isn’t as accomplished as her mother, but give her time.
for 10 minutes.
65K? Are you kidding me?
Industrial grade stupidity.
Whenever I think of the best selection to headline the opening event of a Women’s Hall of Fame , ultra high achiever Chelsea Clinton is always the first name that pops into my head.
Yep, Chelsea has so much enlightening experience to relate, she’s worth paying $65000 for a half hour speech.
