Why do I feel that this is what he was waiting for all those years? Via Taegan-

Former President George W. Bush has earned about $15 million giving paid speeches since leaving office just over two years ago, iWatch News reports.

His standard speaking fee is reportedly between $100,000 and $150,000.

“Bush’s father, George H.W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan also gave paid speeches. Reagan took heat for accepting $2 million for two speeches in Japan. But Clinton took the ex-presidential lecture circuit to a new level. He earned $65 million in speaking fees from 2001 to 2009… That included $7.5 million from 36 speeches in 2009 alone.”

     ”His standard speaking fee is reportedly between $100,000 and $150,000.”

    Does he get a bonus for every made-up word, like “misunderestimated”?

    The difference is Clinton has got something to say.   What the hell does Bush have to offer?  The lessons learned from being the worst president ever?
