I wouldn’t hire him for a speech if he was paying me that much to sit and listen to him:
President George W. Bush may have left office with a historically bad 22% approval rating, but he’s still eager to impart his wisdom – for $150,000 a speech.
The former president will charge that hefty fee per pep talk – plus first-class or private jet transport for four – when he hits the lecture circuit next month with stopovers in Canada, the U.S. and other spots around the globe, sources told The News.
“There will always be people who want the prestige of a former President,” said one public speaking expert.
There’s sucker born every minute, I know, but still. Didn’t these idiots listen to enough bullshit from this guy over the last eight years for free to last a lifetime three times over? Why pay for it now? Giving Bush money to make speeches at this point really is a prime example of wingnut welfare.
