WASHINGTON (CNN) - Sarah Palin's political action committee doled out tens of thousands of dollars last year to Republican consulting firms and donations to GOP candidates, according to the PAC's end-of-year filing with the Federal Election Commission.
But Sarah PAC also paid one Democrat $14,000 for what the FEC report terms "Consulting, Communication, Speech."
That Democrat was Eric Schnure, a former speechwriter for Al Gore, who was hired by Palin to craft her humorous speech to the Gridiron Dinner in Washington last December.
Schnure, a speechwriting veteran who recently signed on with the communications consulting firm Dewey Square Group, calls himself a "proud Democrat." But Schnure said he had no problem helping a Republican – even one as polarizing as Palin – with a speech designed to make people laugh.
"I think humor is one of the last bastions of bipartisanship," Schnure told CNN. "She elicits strong opinions on both sides of the aisle, but I think most people in Washington are savvy about these things. And they understand these humor events have a special place."
Still, Schnure said he has received a fair amount of ribbing from fellow Democrats – including his wife – for lending a hand to Palin.

No, I just think its not worth it. The guy may write a funny speech, but she could have always hired the guy who wrote her acceptance speech at the convention.
I would never have a damn thing to do with anything associated with the fraud Al Gore.

Using self-donated book sales money to hire an al gore speechwriter to deliver the speech you'll give at the $500 per plate Tea Party dinner with "Real americans" for a $150k speaking fee.
Priceless!

No, I said that because its ridiculous to accuse her of some nefarious scheme for such a pittance of money when the purpose is to send books to contributors.

When she gave her "real American Cities and real america" spiel during the campaign, she happened to be in my city, in my neighborhood at a 15 million dollar Castle, home of Louis Dejoy, CEO of New Breed Logistics, which is one of the largest estates on the East Coast. It was a private affair and dinner.
Louis Dejoy was also the Mcain-Palin Finance Chairman for the entire campaign.
