Barbara Bush
You go girl… but I’m still stunned - $ 60,000 to hear what she has to say? Wow! I had no idea she was that desired a celebrity speaker.

And Mrs. Bush has been keeping a hectic schedule, giving several speeches a month to business groups – commanding $60,000 for each. Over the year, she has polished her lines to perfection and she has a stand-up’s timing. She ran down a list of the groups she’s spoken to: “My absolute favorite: The National Association of Plastic Surgeons. I was scared to death,” she deadpanned. “I thought they were going to rush the stage.”

Who on earth has $60,000 to hear Barbara Bush speak?

What can she possibly have to say that is worth that much?
