NY AG Eric Schneiderman Dings Romney Over Speaker Fees

New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman took a dig at Mitt Romney over his comment that “not very much” of his income came from speaking fees. In fact, he made $374,327.62 in the most recent year he released his financial information.

“I’ll bet you 10,000 bucks the American people think it’s a lot of money,” Schneiderman said in a conference call organized by national Democrats.

1. Well there's two parts to this. One is the obvious that $ 374,000 is a lot of money.

The other is the unbelievable fact that Romney could actually generate that much in speaker fees.

He is a terrible speaker, by gosh, and you would have to pay me, golly darn, to sit through his plastic nonsense

of recycled 1950's jabberwokkie, but that's my two cents and I ain't no green pea.

3. those payments are speaker fees

in the same sense that the payments to Newt are historian fees.
