Sometimes, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) can yield some humorous results.
Hillary Clinton’s “demands” for speaking engagements became available by FOIA request when she agreed to speak at UCLA, but if you’re expecting something weird like “no brown M&Ms” you’re going to be sorely disappointed.
Those willing to fork over $300,000 for Hill-dawg’s “special university rate” will also need to provide the following:
- Long, flat pillows for back support.
- A lavalier mic for TED-like lectures.
- Still water, served at room temperature on stage right.
- A carafe of warm/hot water, coffee cup and saucer, pitcher of room temperature water, water glass, and lemon wedges both onstage and in the green room.
- Coffee, tea, room temp sparkling and still water, diet ginger ale, crudité, hummus and sliced fruit in the green room.
- A computer, mouse, printer, and scanner.
- A total of “50 clicks” for VIP photos.
All things considered, that’s pretty tame. It’s likely safe to assume that Bill’s list might contain a few more, how to say, lavish items.
