"Hockey Mom" turned opportunistic diva - Palin contract filled with demands

[kevinbgoode]

Well, it ain't everyday that a you-betcha-just-a-regular-'Merican-hockey-mom can drop by a University and negotiate her own list of diva demands. . .one wonders if others must avert their eyes and not address Miss Palin directly. . .

From AP:

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Sarah Palin will get first-class airfare for two and three rooms at a luxury hotel when she gives a speech in June for a university foundation.

And organizers better not forget to stock her lectern with two water bottles and bendable straws.

The details of Palin's contract with the California State University, Stanislaus Foundation were contained in five pages of the document retrieved from a campus trash bin by students who heard administrators might be shredding documents related to the speech.

State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, who has been seeking details of Palin's compensation package for several weeks, provided copies of the paperwork Tuesday.

Among other perks, the former Alaska governor will fly first class from Anchorage to California — if she flies commercial. If not, "the private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger ...," the contract specifies. . ."

Well, I suppose the jet demand might be just in case Super Sarah decides to spit out a baby while eating bonbons on the flight down. . .:).

At least her hotel can't be too expensive...apparently, according to the article, she demands to stay near campus, and the fanciest digs in Turlock are apparently the spankin' new Comfort Suites. . .
