This is petty. Personally, as a classical liberal (conservative) I believe in free markets; Chelsea Clinton's speeches are worth whatever the market is willing to pay. If Chelsea Clinton can command $75,000 for a speech, so be it. She is a private person and this is nobody’s business but hers, no matter how little I, or anyone else, like her father's behavior or her mother's politics.

That's a nice sentiment. But Chelsea's speeches are NOT worth $75k a pop.

They are simply bribes to be cashed in on later when mom becomes a POTUS candidate.

It is definitely NOT a "free market".

Otherwise Billy Carter would have made a mint giving speeches.

Hell, I would have paid for that.

Chelsea?

C'mon!

All of my neckties are older than you, you silly noob-knob.
Chelsea Clinton is a 34 year old public figure with more body work than a ‘57 Chevy who just bought a 10+ million dollar home and “doesn’t worry about money.”
But the harshest criticism of your noobian noobness is that Clinton serial-sycophant Mo Dowd cuts her even less slack than you.
But we’re all impressed with your dedication to the free market system. Now, please excuse me—my sinuses are full of eels.

Disagree, it’s thinly disguised money laundering, a way to fund Hillary! for her presidential run while avoiding campaign finance laws.

There is not a person on earth, including those who’ve signed the checks, who thinks Chelsea Clinton has anything to say that’s worth $75K to listen to.

[GeronL]

I do not think her speech is commanding $1.25

I think this is another form of political payoffs.

Would you pay $75,000.00 to hear Chelsea Clinton speak?

About anything?



































Me either.

Frankly, I wouldn't pay $75.00 to hear anything she might have to say. Further, I would question the motives of any person or group who might do so. While I agree that anyone else is free to pay her whatever she may ask for an appearance, I also am free to question their sanity and/or motivations.

[pgyanke]

That would be true if was all about a free market. It isn’t.

1) Those willing to pay this price to this airhead are paying for political access... crony capitalism

2) Many colleges and universities are paying this price... with your money

“Chelsea Clinton’s speeches are worth whatever the market is willing to pay”

What if I’m involuntarily paying?

“She is a private person and this is nobody’s business but hers, no matter how little I, or anyone else, like her father’s behavior or her mother’s politics.”

The donkey-faced skank gave that up the first time it opened its mouth on political matters; we wouldn’t even know who it is unless it was a president’s child.

[what's up]

One can be making money but doing it in an unseemly fashion.

Should their behavior be rewarded by electing Madame to the most powerful position in the word? I think not..
