College kids playing in dumpsters to find this? i'm not buying that...
A document fished out of a California state university trash bin last week has prompted a state investigation into the university's foundation arm and its refusal to disclose details related to Sarah Palin's upcoming speech at the school.
On Tuesday, California Attorney General Jerry Brown said his office would look into the finances of the California State University, Stanislaus Foundation, as well as allegations that the nonprofit organization violated public disclosure laws by keeping details of Palin's contract secret.
Palin is scheduled to speak at a June 25 gala hosted by the foundation to mark the university's 50th anniversary.
Brown's investigation was prompted, in part, by a group of CSU Stanislaus students who retrieved five pages of the contract from a campus trash bin last Friday after hearing administrators were engaged in shredding documents.
The contract detailed the former Alaska governor's requirements for her visit, including first-class flights from Anchorage to California — if she flies commercial. If not, "the private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger ...," the contract specifies.

Palin also must be provided with a suite and two single rooms in a deluxe hotel near the campus in Turlock in the Central Valley. During her speech, her lectern must be stocked with two water bottles and bendable straws.
The document, dated March 16, does not include compensation details for Palin, who commands speaking fees as high as $100,000. Her appearance at the university gala is expected to draw a large crowd, with tickets selling for $500 each.

I don't really care... Even if it's true.
It's her god given right to be able to charge what she sees fit. That's capitalism at its best.
I wouldn't pay to see her, but it's not up to me.

There are a lot of ...slow people...to put it mildly that would still pay to see her. ;D

Pretty desperate.

Anybody who can demand the "private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger" and "bend-y straws for the water bottles" is doing well. Let's just hope she doesn't become one of those elites she hates so badly.

Why? Its their money and if they want to spend it that way, who are you or 240 to say otherwise?

Unlike phonies like Obama and Gore who tell us to sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice.Conservatives love the rich.We love success we love cool planes,cool cars and we dont apologise for it.Very different from Gore who flies private jets and tells us to ride bikes.
