JUST KEEP ON TALKING, SARAH! What a MORON...but the real morons are those who pay to hear her or are captives in the auditorium who don't have the balls to walk out! Palin Speech In Vegas Panned By Realtors One of the ways that sometime-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been maximizing her celebrity to stack the tall dollars is through all the various speaking engagements she's lined up, which keeps the peripatetic Palin on the road and appearing before a diverse array of audiences. It's been great business for Palin, who gets paid six figures to show up and spit her patented brand of snowbilly wisdom. It's not been great, however, for her occasional captive audiences at various expos, who typically have to endure a speech that has nothing to do with their industry.
Palin's latest foray happened this past weekend at the ICSC RECon Conference in Las Vegas, where she was among an array of touted speakers that included Robert Reich and Virginia Postrel. Business Insider's Joe Weisenthal notes that it's pretty standard for figures to game out their remarks in advance and "tailor their speech a little bit to the crowd" -- in this case, a massive gathering of retail real estate industry professionals.
