"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.

[twigs]

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.

[Kandy Atz]

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?

[wac3rd]

Didn’t Bammy make $5 million in 2009?

[MiltonFriedmanFan]

Meanwhile.................Obama made 5 and a half million last year.

[Argus]

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.

[SmokingJoe]

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!

[pabianice]

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.

[a fool in paradise]

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

[SmokingJoe]

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.

[glorgau]

The bendy straws are probably for her kids...

[Liberty Valance]

Palin is worth every penny and more. She’s makin’ money for many others as well. I figure Tina Fey owes Palin at least 15% of whatever she makes. If not for Palin, Tina would be just another snl alumni on a bad sit-com. Palin turned her from a fair comedienne into a star. And these lib media writers couldn’t even sell Obama to the Kenyans ... but they can sell papers with Palin’s picture on it and couldn’t care less what the actual story is.

[Tanniker Smith]

Considering that her salary would not be able to pay her legal bills, which would’ve continued to mount had she remained in office and more frivolous lawsuits had been filed against her, I think he made the better choice. Legal bills can be paid and no new ethics complaints can be filed.

[GraceG]

So I guess to him Sarah is going around holding up people for money....

Personal Acheivement to liberals must mean you someone stole that acheivement from someone else....

[ozzymandus]

Palin’s recent profits have been a media talking point the last few days. Leftists all get their marching orders from the same source, which is why they all say the same thing every day.

AUDACIOUS HAUL: President Obama and the first lady on Thursday reported earning $5.5 million in 2009

President Obama and the first lady on Thursday reported earning $5.5 million in 2009, the majority of which was from the sale of Obama’s books, the White House said. By contrast, former President Bush and Laura Bush reported a taxable income of $719,274 in 2007. The Obamas paid nearly $1.8 million in federal income tax and reported giving $329,100 to 40 charities. Their tax return is here.

---- Some context: The Obama's household income jumped from $991,296 in 2006 to $4.2 million in 2007. It was $2.7 million in 2008.

[Doc Savage]

Lib asshole. Jealous little prick who only wishes he had been Gov. of anything. Never watch him or read him. An insignificant little weasel!

[rockrr]

Yea, my first reaction was that he speaks from painful experience...

[gov_bean_ counter]

The part this Einstein misses is she was driven from the Governorship by a DEMOCRAT NUTJOB. If the toad had just left her alone she probably would have finished out her term.

Oh, the sweet irony of it all.
