Hi, we call ourself Malignant, & we're a hate addict. We just can't stop hating:closely controlled private event, [where] he'll face 1,500 friendly faces brought in by organizers and the Calgary Chamber of Commerce. Tickets reportedly sold for $400 each and were made available exclusively by invitationin Calgary, Alberta (the heart, brain or headquarters of the Canadian Oil Patch) this Tuesday.
Good idea to stick w/ an audience of oil & other business weasels the first time out. How much of the $600,000 (Canadian, we assume) does G. W. get?
The Old Coffers
4 September 2007, Chris "Tweety" Matthews on Hardball:
Meanwhile, President Bush made some comments that are just now being publicized that may cause voters to wonder about the president‘s basic sense of decency, or at least sense of place. Bush says his first goal when he leaves the U.S. presidency will be to hit the lecture circuit and make the kind of money his father and Bill Clinton have been making, “replenish the ol‘ coffers,” he said. He talks to the author of a new book about making a ridiculous amount of money this way. Quote, “I don‘t know what my dad gets,” he‘s quoted as saying, quote, “but it‘s more than 50, 75. Clinton‘s making a lot of money,” close quote.
In that case, negotiation must have started at US$125,000, minimum. The best hotel suite in Calgary & the Gulfstream V or whatever to get him to & from Calgary needn't even be mentioned, they're givens.
