People reluctant to book Palin for speaking engagements because ‘they
think she is a blithering idiot.’
Since Sarah Palin resigned as Alaska’s governor, she has signed on
with the Washington Speakers Bureau, hoping to cash in on her fame.
While Palin did do one speech — to mixed reviews — in Asia recently,
she is reportedly having trouble getting booked for more:
Palin’s bookers are said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an
industry expert tells Page Six:
“The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about
booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot.”
Many big lecture venues are subscription series, “and they don’t want
to tick people off,” said our source.
“Palin is polarizing, and some subscribers might cancel if she’s on
the lineup.”
Other lecture buyers are universities, which have a leftist slant, and
corporations, which dislike controversy.
“Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups — unless they are
interested in moose hunting,” said our insider.
“What does she have to say? She can’t even describe what she reads.“
