    I would like to sell some seafront properties to whoever pays that much for listening to her speak.

    I think this is pretty standard stuff for politicians. But my favorite part was that she actually negotiates bendy straws for her drinks into her speaking contracts.

    Yea I wouldn't have thought much of it if she didn't base her whole campaign on relating to average joes and not being like those elitist washington people with their upscale lives and so on and how she is just a regular old mama grizzly who relates to the middle class, but then again the middle class does appreciate bendy straws so nevermind

    The only thing I thought was ridiculous was the pre-screened questions. It wasn't unexpected, though.

    I also got a chuckle out of the bendy straws.

    The real cost is a person's own dignity and much of their value as a human.

    if you've ever negotiated an appearance contract with any entertainer or politician then nothing in there would surprise you. of course, since it's palin, the socialist totalitarians will run amok...

    Everyone who posts criticisms of Sarah Palin is obviously an elitist who hates special-needs kids.

    I was shocked when she made special-needs kids a central plank of her stumping, as if anyone really cares about them and is going to base a vote on it.

    I would hope that most politicians would be open to answering unscripted questions, but that's probably asking too much. Aside from that, I agree with you, nothing else was surprising or even particularly unreasonable.

    Question: Why would anyone pay to have her speak at any event?

    Yes, and if the tables were turned it would be you on here ranting and raving.

    She's pretty popular, even if she can't put out a coherent thought.

    I'd quit the governor's job too for the kind of cash she rakes in as a speaker.
