That is not how it works. They did not give $200K for a speech. They gave 200K as a bribe and just called it payment for a speech. And, they definitely did get their money's worth.
Well played, my friend. Well played.
In all seriousness, we are hand wringing over the most ridiculous stuff. Russia is hacking us, bombing the crap out of Libya, moving missiles and violating air space, and the only power play we have is to stop talking to them. This is as serious as can be, and the two people we have to choose from to send to the White House to address the problem is one of the architects of this disaster and some guy who has no diplomatic experience whatsoever. Both are 70 years old, with one coughing and fainting and the other subsisting on KFC. We are F-U-C-&-E-D.
