Edwards charges $55,000 to speak to UC Davis students about poverty

SFGate: Politics Blog : Carla Marinucci: "Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who as a Democratic presidential candidate recently proposed an educational policy that urged 'every financial barrier' be removed for American kids who want to go to college, has been going to college himself -- as a high paid speaker, his financial records show."

Can somebody refresh my memory on that two America's deal, how did that baloney go again?

The candidate charged a whopping $55,000 to speak at to a crowd of 1,787 the taxpayer-funded University of California at Davis on Jan. 9, 2006 last year, Joe Martin, the public relations officer for the campus' Mondavi Center confirmed Monday

So California taxpayers payed 50 g's for a filthy rich former senator to come to their state funded college and lecture the mostly lower to middle class students of all things, about poverty in America. Did that include his $400 Breck Girl haircut before the speech or was that extra?

Can you believe that any of these people actually charge money to speak in front of colleges and students for a few minutes, more for a speech than many of those students will make in a year at the peak of their careers. Were I lucky enough to be in that position in life I would gladly do such things for free for students and children. What a shyster.

That amount -- which comes to about $31 a person in the audience -- included Edwards' travel and airfare, and was the highest speaking fee in the nine appearances he made before colleges and universities last year, according to his financial records. read more

Talk about rape on college campuses, this nearly qualifies. I reiterate the line I opened up the post with, that only a Democrat could pull this crap and get away with it. What a man of the people. And a lawyer to boot, probably the crookedest one in the whole darn auditorium.
