New unit of Clinton Currency — the “Snookie”

Usage: “Clinton was paid 2/3 of a Snookie for her speech at Rutgers.”

Even at that bargain basement rate, the payers were Snookered.

They base the amount on the number of people they expect to show up...

Maybe we can get a Snooki vs Hillary rasslin match going.

Snooki is younger, but Hillary is a dirty fighter.

Her speaking fees were astronomically inflated when they were merely cover for her doing government favors in exchange for cash.

Now, she's jumped out of the jelly into the jam and she can't do nothing for ya man.

She has no influence to sell and nothing to say, except to whine, whine, whine!

Why would ANY sentient group/organization actually pay this noxious, venomous harridan to whine away her time upon the stage?

Why would ANY sentient person ATTEND this noxious, venomous harridan’s whining?

Her tale is, truly, told by an idiot, signifying NOTHING!

BEGONE HITLERY! OUT! OUT! DAMMED SPOT!

Hillary Clinton doesn’t need the money, they have all the dark money they can spend. It’s just part of the huge propaganda machine that is DNC, with a little money laundering on the side. Her IRS return will probably say she was paid 550,000.

The statistical method for analyzing Hillary’s speech fees would be an intervention model. You look at a time series of her speech dates and fees, and you code a binary variable (0= before November 2016, 1= after November 2016.) The coefficient of that binary variable would be negative, and its magnitude would be the graft component of her speech fees back when some were foolish enough to think she would be president someday.

Perhaps the day will come when she'll have to pair up with Monica to get a paying audience.

Hillary Clinton is far too stupid to get it...that she is done, finished, over, passe, used goods, garbage goods, prison fodder....but...folks...please, silence is golden...let the idiot witch rant and rave as she pleases. she sink herself and the entire Democrat Party.

These speaking fees are outrageous no matter the recipient. One would think that people who advocate for “free tuition” could give “free speeches” with maybe a minor honorarium to cover travel expenses.

NYC is just an hour’s drive to Rutgers, and Chappaqua is an hour and a half. How much can her expenses be? Her staff is on full time salary; her guards are Secret Service so paid by taxpayers, so there is no additional cost to go speak at Rutgers.

These students graduate burdened with enormous debt yet they pay activity fees to support $25,000 or $30,000 and sometimes more for celebrity speakers?

Of course, this means that the Dems will likely be running Snookie next time.

Here's how Bill Clinton exploited the presidency.

Behind a Bill Clinton speaking engagement:
A $1,400 hotel phone bill and $700 dinner for two

LA Times ^ | July 11, 2016 | Evan Halper / FR Posted by COUNTrecount

When former presidents and other dignitaries traveled to California to wax nostalgic on the speaking circuit, they may have been demanding, but none insisted on being flown from San Francisco by private jet to a venue just 70 miles down the freeway.

That was before Bill Clinton came along.

Clinton changed the rules of political speech-making for cash. He would push not just corporate hosts but also nonprofits and universities to pay fees well beyond what they were accustomed to. His aides would turn what had been a freewheeling format into tightly scripted events where every question from the audience was screened. He and Hillary Clinton would become so skilled at churning profits out of their lectures that they would net more than $150 million from speaking alone after he left the White House.

Inside the negotiations to secure a Bill Clinton speaking engagement:
Bartering, bickering and outsize expense reports......

Contracts and internal emails connected to half a dozen speeches Clinton gave in the Bay Area soon after departing the White House offer a glimpse into the unusual demands and outsize expense reports associated with bringing him to town. The events took place as part of a speaker series sponsored by the Foothill Deanza Community College District, another by UC Davis and another run by a for-profit firm. The documents became public through an open-records request filed by the Republican National Committee amid a presidential race in which the lucrative speaking fees paid to the Clintons are being closely examined.

They show a former president who deftly avoided discussing past scandals by refusing questions that were not screened by his staff in advance. There is the nearly $1,400 bill for a day’s worth of phone calls from San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel and the $700 dinner for two. (Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...

========================================

The Wash/Post reported Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day.

===============================================

Bill's honoraria increased dramatically. He pocketed some $50 million during Hillary's four-year term as Secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.

====================================

The Clinton Foundation dutifully tells the press the impeached Bill was such a "beloved president" that people wanted to hear what he had to say. That being the reason why countries paid him so much to speak.

REALITY CHECK But not many people could speak or understand English in far-off Nigeria, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Russia, places where the beloved impeached president pocketed big bucks for speeches.......word is they paid people to sit in the seats pretending they were listening to the "beloved impeached president."

I know which one I'd rather look at, and probably rather hear speak, too:

Hard to believe she pulled herself out of the bottle for such a paltry sum.
