Maybe Foothill -De-Anza Community College could invite one of the Clinton’s back to apologize for the fleecing they took.

Or, maybe not.

In reply to Norman Kline. This article is not about nothing. There may be no corruption or lying, but there certainly is something to report in the Clintons' unbridled greed, lack of integrity and dearth of caring for everyday people and the institutions which educate them. I agree that DeAnza/Foothill should have said "No, thank you" when presented with the exorbitant monetary demands and the ridiculously truncated list of PR-approved questions that could be asked. The Clintons' greed is Brobdingnagian in its scope.

In reply to Norman Kline. Nothing weak about the journalism here. There may not be corruption or lying, but there is unbridled greed and lack of integrity or caring for the everyday people and the institutions that try to educate them. The Clintons are rich beyond most of their supporters' dreams, yet they demand blood from a small educational institution turnip. I agree that DeAnza/Foothill should have said "No, thank you" when presented with the monetary expectations and the ridiculously truncated list of scripted questions. Shame on both the Clintons, whose greed seems limitless.

> Another proviso involved screening questions to avoid mention of political and personal scandals.

What a coincidence!

I have my staff include the exact same proviso in my speaking contracts.

It really does help in keeping a squeaky clean public image. No one ever asks me about bimbo eruptions or my personal e-mail server.

In reply to Norman Kline. Actually I was surprised to read an article critical of the Clintons. This is California, where Democrats have ruled for nearly 50 years. It's kind of refreshing, in a "man bites dog" sort of way.

This article is about nothing. No corruption, no lying, nothing. They got paid by asking and getting money for services they provided. Pretty weak journalism. The framing would have been better stated the other way around. Junior College wastes tax payer dollars on speakers that provide little educational value. Then do a complete analysis of how much money has been spent on speaker engagement fees for the last ten years and an independent analysis of what value that has brought the students vs spending similar amounts on scholarships. Also check to see if Admin staff, Board, etc. received special access to meet the speakers in private VIP rooms, lunches, etc. Now that would be an article worth reading.

This is just normal corrupt Clinton behavior. Ask Hilary.

There is a simple solution, don’t pay it. Clearly the Clintons are in demand and are charging based on that demand. No one is forcing you to hire them so if it costs more than you want to pay then don’t.
