Given the opportunity, I would pay the $275 to get into the special reception. I would be thrown out within the first 2 minutes but it would be worth it.

"Could he be afraid that the press might report that he isn't the rock star he thinks he is?"

Yes.

I'm glad the fine people of Marin were able to bring somebody in to speak in John Walker Lindh's stead seeing as how he has been unavoidably detained.

A fool and his money....

Seventy-five others will pay $75 to have their pictures taken with him, and 40 more, who have paid $275, will spend 30 minutes at a pre-speech reception in the auditorium's Green Room

Are these fire sale prices? That's really "chump change". What's next? An auction on e-bay?

Are these fire sale prices?

I noticed that too. The last time we had an article like this one, the price for a picture was something like $200.

A small 30 minute reception usually costs more than $275, and a 40 person limit makes it sound like it isn't really popular.

I don't think we're hearing the truth about how popular this jerk is. He made millions this year - I wouldn't be sobbing if that turned into hundreds next year.

One can hardly blame the Grifter. He's doin' what comes naturally. I was going to do the P.T.Barnum bit, but somebody beat me to it.

Oh, he's popular all right, as the butt of jokes. Do a google search with keywords Bill Clinton Pebble Beach pro-am and look at the results. Compare to George Bush Pebble Beach pro-am. Bwahahahaha. My favorite hit contained the string "With TV ratings dropping faster than Bill Clinton's pants". That's the Clinton legacy.

I don't really need to do that. Here in MD, both clintoons had fund raising events for Kathleen Townsend. hillary managed to raise $200,000 and billy raised $600,000. Bush had an event for Ehrlich and raised $1.4M.
Ehrlich won. The first GOP gov in >40 yrs.
