5. California is in a financial hole and this loser is running on a huge bill

The university system is public, it looks bad for them to be paying her that much money in times like this. Even if it is private, for it to even be linked to the university is wrong.

8. Because she's the face of the opposition party.
We shouldn't "care" what she does, but it's probably smart politics so keep pointing out what she does. You remember politics, right?

3. So? This is such a non-story, and I said so in the other thread.
The real story here - which the journalists seem to fail to find - is that the university tried to shred the documents during furlough instead of opening them to public perusal, which is the law.



As to her contract demands - nothing special about them at all. Pretty typical for ANYONE who is a high-demand speaker, performer, entertainer, seminar leader, and so on.

Sure, we can blame her for some hypocrisy, perhaps, at flying first class while pretending to be one of "the people", but I'm not too worked up over it.

And since her first class tickets helps subsidize the coach tickets, perhaps we can applaud her for her socialist views!

13. What a strange country we live in
Intelligent, hard-working Americans ride the subway or sit in traffic, while the Alaskan dimwit flies in a Lear 60.
And what exactly does she add to our society, other than vitriol?
