Who's Paying This Woman?

Brilliant

I have said it more than once. In today’s world, to get rich you have to be incredibly brilliant or incredibly stupid. The Steve Jobs’ and the Richard Branson’s being the former and the Kate Gosselin’s and the Snooki’s of the world being the latter. The world loves the ends of the bell curves. We can’t live without ‘em. I wish we could do without the stupid.

Since leaving office at the end of July 2009, Sarah Palin has brought in at least 100 times her old salary – a haul now estimated at more than $12 million — through television and book deals and a heavy schedule of speaking appearances worth five and six figures.

Yeah that’s right. Sarah Palin makes $11.9 million (I’m rounding to the nearest decimal) more than you. The woman is more brain dead than Terry Shiavo. Her arguments are so circular and so devoid of thought that she will ususally discredit them on her own by just simply continuing her argument. But we love our circus freaks. What’s weird about Palin is that she’s not making money for being an idiot (Reality TV, appearances at clubs), she’s making money because people are paying her to hear her speak or read her insights!

$12 million/yr for the woman who’s VP selection instantly guaranteed the GOP’s loss in the presidential election. Nothing pays quite like inanity, idiocy and failure.
