Sarah Palin Contract DEMANDS Lear Jet, Luxury Hotel
Tweet
She’s just like regular people. Not.
Sarah Palin will get first-class airfare for two and three rooms at a luxury hotel when she gives a speech in June for a university foundation.
And organizers better not forget to stock her lectern with two water bottles and bendable straws.
The details of Palin’s contract with the California State University, Stanislaus Foundation were contained in five pages of the document retrieved from a campus trash bin by students who heard administrators might be shredding documents related to the speech.
State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, provided copies of the paperwork Tuesday.
Among other perks, Palin will fly first class – if she flies commercial. If not, ‘the private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger …,’ the contract specifies. She also must be provided with a suite and two single rooms in a deluxe hotel.
The document, dated March 16, does not include compensation details for Palin, who commands speaking fees as high as $100,000.

she’s running one hell of a scam. got to admire her for that, anyway.
She really is a televangelist, selling her bogus gospel to the unwashed morons so desperate for a miracle. She gives the same stupid speech everywhere she goes; she riles up the impotent old white men with her usual catchphrases, never talks about anything she is actually in favor of, then they stand on their feet and applaud wildly.
Suckers.
Beat me to it merl! I don’t blame her for cashing in. I’d probably do the same thing if the opportunity presented itself. I blame the fuckin rubes who are getting taken for a ride by someone they think is anything more than a moderately attractive grifter.
While she’s making a shedload of cash she has absolutely no reason to stop riding that train as far as it will take her. Boggles my mind that she has her base bamboozled mind you. But until they stop falling for her schtick, she’ll keep spewing the same tired poo. Kind of impressive in a way.

What does it spell ?
F – E – A – R for the liberals !!!
LOL. Just curious, am I more scared of her than when she scared her way into losing the last election in a landslide? Or less? And what’s the difference in how afraid I am of her and how afraid I am of Fred Thompson? Rememember how much he was “scaring all the liberals?”
Man, I hope Sarah Palin scares us as well as she did in 2008!
Lets se the documents unaltered! I don’t hear any whining from the 100 million Al Gre made scamming all of you for using mercury filled light blbs cause the planet was gonna brn to the ground 20yrs ago..hahahaha Your liberal tactics don’t work anymore.Consider yourselves Alinskyed NOW! hahahaha snobs & phoneys racists, perverts..go Sarah go Sarah go Sarah..
One thing I know about fear — It is as hard to admit, as it is to explain.
She’s trailing Ron Paul and Mitt Romney. Who would she hurt more if she ran on a third party ticket, Democrats or Republicans?
Palin’s a Philistine. A true elitist would insist on a Gulfstream jet.
I thought the right deplored celebrities. Unless they see the starbursts?
Yes, we live in fear of her. Please keep believing that. Please.
Yes, we’re afraid of a half-term governor with a contract with Fox News, just like we cowered in 2008 when we kicked her coast to coast.
F – E – A – R for the liberals !!!
This is just getting sad.
FDS – “One thing I know about fear — It is as hard to admit, as it is to explain.”
Especially when the Pope is involved.
Not everyone can be the Sgt. at Arms of the House. But keep up that lie all you want. I wouldn’t expect a right winger to part from their bullshit. Then what else would you do?

Oh, please. We’re not afraid of Palin, we’re amused by her. At worst, astonished that folks would continue to see her, despite all impartial evidence to the contrary, as some authority and great leader.
But don’t let us continually pointing that out dissuade you from seeing the world as “Libruls are a’feared of the Great Palin!”.
bendable straws like a toddler
One thing I know about fear — It is as hard to admit, as it is to explain.
I actually find your insistence that reality is always and only as you see them to be the thing that is hard to explain.
We criticize Obama yet we’re completely under the sway of “the One”.
We disagree with and complain about other prominent Democrats, yet we’re always biased and completely unable to do anything other than echo left-wing talking points.
Fox News is the highest rated news show on television, yet the media has an unrelenting liberal bias.
To be fair, you’ve spent the last week or so proving you also feel this way about child rape.
Her rider reads like some prissy pop star diva. Then again, that’s what she is now.
OMG Frank–you slay me!
Yeah, Sarah’s scary–to the morons who empty their bank accounts for her. I just want her to keep making those big old elephant bucks from the idiocracy. She’s riding them like a two dollar ho who got paid twenty. (No disrespect to the working girls–cause Sarah’s never done a full days work in her life.)
Go Sarah, go!
Truly, I don’t think it’s fear Frank. I think it’s our need for Sarah to buy a thesaurus, comb out her hair,
tell us when Putin will be flying over and for her to stop her high pitched screeching as she rolls by on the teabagging klan wagon.
No?
OW and his lemmings still obsessed with Sarah Palin.
Because she wants to fly first class for a seven hour flight instead of likely getting stuck next to some California whack-job liberal who wants to do her best Tina Fey impression the whole time.
For the nutroots today, this is a BFD.
Yeesh.
Put your minuscule erection away Dennis. It’s gross. Funny as hell, but gross.
Nice to know she isn’t one of those “elites” I keep hearing the wingnuts rail against.
Oh, wait.
One thing I know about fear is when I’m feeling it and when I’m not.
I could be a televangelist if I wanted, because I understand the shtick and I know what would sell, but I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. Sarah Palin is not so limited by any sense of shame, and it aqllows her to cash in.
Good for her. Milk the rubes, because there is no way in hell this delicate flower who requires straws that bend is tough enough for a presidential campaign from primary to general. Her GOP colleagues will shred her long before Barack gets s shot at her.
Frank needs to explain what it is that he thinks she brings to the political discourse other than platitudes. Deep insight? Leadership? Experience that would eclipse a guy who would have four years of presidentin’ under his belt to her failed term as governor?
Paraphrasing Phil Ochs (RIP):
Here’s to the land you won’t win the heart of
Sarah Palin, find yourself another country to be part of
Paraphrasing Rudy Ray Moore (RIP):
Dolemite said, “BITCH!!”
Who could have predicted this demand?
She didn’t blink!
I heard Obama uses a teleprompter.
Because she wants to fly first class for a seven hour flight instead of likely getting stuck next to some California whack-job liberal who wants to do her best Tina Fey impression the whole time.
You seem confused, Dennis. If Palin flies first class on a commercial flight she’s still liable to sit next to some California whack-job who wants to do her best Tina Fey impression the whole time.
So did you mean “Because she wants to fly in a private jet…”?
Cuz that would make sense.
I heard Obama has a functioning brain.
Her “Contract with America”.
“Fear for the liberals.”
What’s up with Republicans and fear? Is it a fetish?
Bendable straws. Maybe not a good idea for someone who could choke on yogurt.
Please remember that neither Dennis (Newsweek is a very liberal mag) or Frank (Lincoln attacked the South) have much credibility.
