I don't know.
Perhaps she got $100,000 like Bush did to give a speech to wounded vets. (CNN)
I really hope that you aren't going to compare Bush's speech income to the Clintons. There really is no comparison.
I thought I made it clear what I was comparing. Bush charged a veteran's group (wounded vets) money ($100,000) to give them a speech. The amount of money isn't important. It's who he charged it too.
Like I said, I don't think this is a comparison you can win.
Hillary has given speeches to - and charged for more than W - lots of non-profits, thus burning a significant percentage of their total budget. Just 1 example from the Boston Globe:
"But even as she continues ramping up a likely 2016 presidential candidacy, there’s another paid speaking stop on the books this week: The American Camp Association of New York and New Jersey.
It’s a not-for-profit organization that may be spending up to 10 percent of its $2 million budget to land Clinton for the Thursday speech in Atlantic City, if the former first lady is charging her usual fee of $200,000. The camp confirmed she would be paid for the appearance, but didn’t disclose the size of the fee. Clinton’s office declined to comment."
Now let's examine your claim about W. His speech was given at a fundraiser that netted nearly $2.5 million. The following year - without W - the same event raised about $1 million. His fee was worth it, don't you think?
