Hillary Clinton is going to have a real problem running for president as a woman of the people. And the evidence mounts by the day.
First, you'll recall her hilarious claim of being "dead broke" upon leaving the rent-free White House in 2001 and confronting mortgages on two mansions. We've all heard about her scores of strictly-controlled, quarter-million dollar speeches to every convention of scrap metal dealers and the like since jumping off the sinking S.S. Obama last year.
Now comes a most amazing compilation of regal needs and demands before the ex-first lady, ex-senator, ex-secretary of State will condescend to accept up to $10,000 per minute to address her countrymen.
It took a Freedom of Information case to get at the secret details of the negotiations and demands for last March's Clinton appearance at UCLA. But two Washington Post reporters have uncovered a revealing compendium of both grandiose and petty requirements which university hosts had to meet in order to enjoy the brief presence of Clinton and a bevy of her aides.
The former Obama cabinet member required, for instance, several teleprompters so she could wander the stage and appear to talk spontaneously. Apparently the former Chicagoan is a thirsty speaker; she must have a case of spring water nearby (room temperature only). Plus in an off-stage room, she wanted coffee, tea, room temp sparkling and still water, diet ginger ale, crudité, hummus and sliced fruit. Also a computer, mouse, printer and a scanner must be available.
She agreed to pose for only 50 photos with a total of 100 people. In that VIP room and on-stage she required more room-temperature water -- and plates of lemon wedges.

And any normal person would show up and just say....can I have a bottle of water please?
The Water must be replaced with Vodka
maybe if we took up a great big collection, we could get Hillary to type a note to us here on FR?
wouldn’t that be just wonderful!?
:)
:)
The multiple requests for water is a ruse and a misdirection! We all know it would make her melt! :)
Seriously, when are we going to complain that speaking engagements on campuses are a way to divert PUBLIC funds to political campaigns. WE wouldn’t be allowed to contribute such large amounts to our folks, but we are expected to sit on our hands while our tax money is given out to the stream of liberal speakers who populate the podiums (like the alliteration? :) of public universities, many of them running political campaigns.
Private citizen. She can ask for whatever she chooses. She’ll be taking a paycut when she’s president, I guess.
She always looks like she has been sucking lemons.
I guess all Fauxcahontas requires is a teepee...
all speakers on public campuses should be paid only a percentage of the gate. Charge admission. If no one shows up it will eliminate the BS. If hey do, they paid for it and can have whoever.
Yeah, the special Hillary $#!TTer followed her the entire time she was in that country.
I hope you washed your hands.
It's a tax scam.
Chelsea Clinton Makes $900,000 for Doing Almost Nothing
It had gold fittings, as I remember. But, I thought that WE paid for it. I wonder what happened to it after she left?
As I remember, that was the trip she took with Chelsea and her mother, sans Bill. That was during the Monica period.
None of this hanging anything around her neck business
I can think of a thing or two to hang around Hildabeast’s neck. But a medal ain’t one of them.
I’d love to covertly get into the area and change all the items to things she hates. Also add a wall poster of Vince Foster with the caption “Reward leading to the arrest and conviction of his murderer.” Maybe add a photo of Bill with a “sex offender” caption. And Benghazi.....
I guess it wasn’t PC to mention the donkey in the hotel room?/sarc
...and remove all the those damn red M&Ms from the candy bowls!
In addition: Remove all green M&Ms unless Huma is in the building.
It would be real interesting if somebody tracked that thing down.
Title the book: "Whatever Happened to Hillary's Gold-Plated $#!tter?"
Possibly the media had Elizabeth Warren in mind. She’s publicly further left and more anti capitalist.
for an answer, just count the H1llary bumper stickers.
“I can think of a thing or two to hang around Hildabeasts neck. But a medal aint one of them.’
A burning tire comes to mind.
Doesn’t it make you wonder where/when she picked up the royalty mindset? It intrigues me to no end. To be fair Hillary isnt the only political class preener in need of constant attention and adoration. Im a bit surprised theres no requirement for handmaidens leading the way w/ flower pedals and heralds trumpeting her entrance.
There’s a GOAL!
