$200k? Really? When I can get Kellyanne Conway to tell me everything for free?

This is just fine, by the way. It’s only wrong when Hillary does it. So let her go talk in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey…it’s all good.

I just want to point out that there are less expensive options for falling asleep.

Back in college I was on a committee to book entertainment and we had a whole list of bands we could get, and there were awesome ones, like Little Feat, that charged a lot less than Nikki Haley does just to talk. Even adjusted for inflation since the Bronze Age or whenever it was, this is not a good value.

Remember her state of the union rebuttal. Youtube that and remove all doubt that this is a bad use of funds.

Gotta build up that warchest if she’s going to make a presidential run in 2024.

BTW, I am available for speaking gigs for 95% less, and am happy to fly commercial.

Isn’t that just the standard set by Sarah Palin in her heyday?

Hey you probably won’t get it if you don’t ask for it! And you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find you’ll get what you need!

Cashing in. Just like Sarah Palin.
It’s a business model.

Who is the bigger fool here? Her asking for 200k to speak or the person that pays her 200k to speak.

Yeah, but will she provide a transcript for every speech she makes?

For those wondering about her abrupt resignation from the Trump administration? She had to start cashing out before the Trump association became a liability. A speaking gig or two a month and she will be making five time what she made in government, and without having to change adult diapers or listen to tantrums.

That’s a hefty speaking fee for someone Trump hardly knew. How long does it take to regale an audience about your experiences fetching coffee?
