LAT: When former presidents and other dignitaries traveled to California to wax nostalgic on the speaking circuit, they may have been demanding, but none insisted on being flown from San Francisco by private jet to a venue just 70 miles down the freeway.
That was before Bill Clinton came along.
Clinton changed the rules of political speech-making for cash. He would push not just corporate hosts but also nonprofits and universities to pay fees well beyond what they were accustomed to. His aides would turn what had been a freewheeling format into tightly scripted events where every question from the audience was screened. He and Hillary Clinton would become so skilled at churning profits out of their lectures that they would net more than $150 million from speaking alone after he left the White House. read more
Prediction: Either Bill, Chelsea, or another close family member will be dead soon so Hillary can garner the sympathy vote from the fence sitting useful idiots.
There’ a reason 80% of the Clinton Global Foundation’s loot goes to “Administrative Costs”. If you buy a pallet of “Hard Choices”, you will feed a starving child in Africa dinner.

Dinner & prostitute: $700
The pig has an appetite.
Well, that was an unpleasant surprise. Hitting the “read more” link took me to linkis.com rather than the LA Times article.
Fine print: $10 blow job.
Holy shit, he’s employed once again!
I can’t wait to hear the Obama family demands once they finally are gone. Michelle is going to need someone to fund her 12+ lavish annual vacations.
What gets my goat is who the hell pays to listen to these gypsies?
Moe’s, Look around, they’re everywhere!
Moe….not about listening, it’s about paying to play. Pay them for a speach or buy a truckload of books they authored….anything to hide the bribe.
Why I have to respond to the possessive Moe, I dunno, fcuking dumb design ice. LOL.
Seriously though, they are everywhere. Just look for the tiny square glasses, that’s a good place to start. I see progs everywhere, they’re the ones who are still going through the intersection when your light is green. They also get pissed when you appropriately exercise your right of way at a 4 way stop. The list goes on and on, like the goof who parks their shopping cart in 1/3rd of the aisle and covers the remaining 2/3rds with their gut.
Slick has his entire funeral planned out to the smallest detail. Imagine THAT cost while he’s crossing the River Styx.
I say -scrap- all the music, doves, food, pomp and circumstance… just bury him on the banks of the Potomac River next to the outflow pipe of the Watergate Hotel.

Sylvia, I agree. Foggy Bottom would be quite appropriate.
Old_aks/MM I know, I know. I just like to read your answers. LOL
Lucifer says Bill Clinton and Hillary are BOTH in the On-Deck Circle. That would be one helluva an assault on The Gates all at once. 👿
I’ve heard of rock stars asking for less in their contracts.
Somebody has to pay for the truckloads of condoms and Viagra.
