The Sarah Palin money train is leaving the station: "Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has chosen among offers from 20 agencies that wanted to represent her and signed with Washington Speakers Bureau, which represents everyone from George and Laura Bush to Bob Woodward and Katie Couric to Alan Greenspan, Colin Powell and Rudy Giuliani. More than 950 requests for speeches have poured in for Palin, and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear, including folks running for Senate, House and state legislature. She'll be doing both paid speeches, which are expected to go for six figures apiece, and unpaid speeches for political and charitable causes, including Christian organizations, groups that support families with special-needs children, and military families." Palin's first paid stop will be a global investment managers' forum in Hong Kong, which will surely benefit from her financial expertise. Hopefully these new responsibilities won't keep her from updating her Facebook page, because I have been really enjoying that.
