I Work For Less

[Perianne]

I would give a speech for a lot less money than $65,000. Actually, I would give the speech for free. The things those kids could learn from me!


When the University of Missouri at Kansas City was looking for a celebrity speaker to headline its gala luncheon marking the opening of a women’s hall of fame, one of the names that came to mind was Hillary Rodham Clinton.


But when the former secretary of state’s representatives quoted a fee of $275,000, officials at the public university balked. “Yikes!” one e-mailed another.


So the school booked the next best option: her daughter, Chelsea.


The university paid $65,000 for Chelsea Clinton’s brief appearance Feb. 24, 2014, a demonstration of the celebrity appeal and marketability that the former and possibly second-time first daughter employs on behalf of her mother’s presidential campaign and family’s global charitable empire.

The money is not for a speech. It's a thinly veiled bribe. Chelsea doesn't get the money. It goes to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.

In many ways Chelsea already strikes me as worse than her parents. She hasn't had to work for jack and she appears to have been very demanding at any job she's held. The Post article pretty much illustrates that.
