"Those un-bendy straws can be tricky. With the bendable models, you're much less prone to gettin' a poke in the eye."

I get the distinct impression that Roeper is missing his Y-chromosome when he squeals like this. But it is good to see that Sarah did ultimately make the right move.

Outstanding financial pay-off for Obama since he began running for the WH. Books he wrote, in addition to the salary paid to him by the people, brought he and his wife over 5 million dollars during his first full year in office. Payoff for the people who pay him not so good. Increased taxes, inferior health care, discouragement for the future, change of the American system to what it was never meant to be.

I’ve been listening to him as Roe Conn’s new “partner”. He’s got a great sense of humor. And, like Roe, an acute awareness of the culture.

Ultimately, he’s a lib hack and will be gone soon. I think Roe’s ego will push him out.

Heck, Obama earned over $5 million and didn’t even write the books the union thugs and Democrat fat cats are buying!

Where’s the outrage over that?

To win the good opinion of failed pundits like Roeper, Sarah would have to convert to liberalism and funnel all her income through a “Clinton Global Peace Initiative” or something like the “Jimmy Carter Center for World Peace”. These are three-fers. You get to travel around the world on private jets and stay in five star resorts for free, all while being hailed as the greatest humanitarian since Jesus, and not pay a dime in income tax because you’re working for a “charity”.

That’s really how the racket is worked. The Democrats invented it.

“He’s got a great sense of humor.”

No, he doesn’t. Humor must contain an element of truth; he knows nothing that is true.

“And, like Roe, an acute awareness of the culture.”

Everything he’s “aware of” is wrong.

So, you an agent provocateur, or what?

Based on my own analysis of those records and news accounts, conversations with TV insiders and my knowledge of the going speaking rates for a number of high-profile figures, I'd agree that the $12 million estimate is on the low side. I'd put the figure at $15 million.

That's about the one thing I'd agree with this guy on.

But I wonder: Will Palin ever want to run for any office again, knowing that she'll be looking at such a drastic pay cut?

Why not?
Dick Cheney did it. Rumsfeld did it. Literally hundreds of politicians have taken huge pay cuts when they took public office. It's about making a greater difference to this country, stupid!

This is the summary of criticism Bill Clinton got from this guy after he left office and began raking-in tens of millions of dollars as a speaker.

Isn’t Albert Gore Junior worth over $100,000,000 now with a trillion dollar Marxist redisribution of wealth scheme in the works?

To borrow one from Homer Simpson, Roeper is Conn’s “new kiss-ass partner.”

It's funny how Palin delights in ripping the mainstream media, even as she cashes big paychecks from . . . the mainstream media.

Ummm..Fox is not the mainstream media. Fox is the ANTI-mainstream media.

BHO tithed less than 0.65% (less than ONE percent) of his 2009 income to charities. Where is the MSM outrage?

He needs to SHARE his own wealth more. Especially with his poor half brothers.

I guess I'm the "what". I listen for the entertainment value, not the political ideology.

Roe Conn is a free market liberterian and a social liberal. That doesn't mean he isn't entertaining.

I'm waiting for Roeper to say something that will show his colors (and he will). He'll get run out of there quick-like

I cringed we I heard Roeper was going to be Roe's new partner. Particular because his PDS problem. Roe Conn also has PDS. I listened and actually though he was humorous, then he write another column again revealing his PDS...

I think you moved a decimal. He made $5.5 million and had charitable contributions of $329,000 which is 5.98%.

Biden on the other hand made $330,000 and donated $4,800 to charity or 1.45%
