Sarah Palin Won't Settle For Just Any Old Private Jet

Really, Sarah Palin is just like you, and me.....If you and me were 1990s high-flying rock stars, on a massive ego trip, looking to cash in at every opportunity :

Palin’s contract, according to Shreeve, who had a look at it, called for her to be paid $100,000 for the event. It also included $18,000 for private jet travel for her and her entourage. Shreeve told me Palin's contract — standard among political stars who make the speaking-circuit rounds — specified what type of private jet she requested for the trip to Nashville. “It was like, she had to have this or that size plane,” Shreeve recalls. “It was like when a rock star comes to town, the contract was that detailed.”

Whatever the Tea Party is now, it was not meant to be anything to do with all that.
