It’s another Sarah Palin version of your open thread. Poor Sarah is having trouble getting booked on the lecture circuit:
Palin’s bookers are said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an industry expert tells Page Six: “The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot.”
Many big lecture venues are subscription series, “and they don’t want to tick people off,” said our source. “Palin is polarizing, and some subscribers might cancel if she’s on the lineup.” Other lecture buyers are universities, which have a leftist slant, and corporations, which dislike controversy.
“Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups — unless they are interested in moose hunting,” said our insider. “What does she have to say? She can’t even describe what she reads.”
I’m sure her reputation for not showing up to speak at previously scheduled events doesn’t help either. Before you feel sorry for poor Sarah, she pocketed $7M for her memoir.
