Because what we need is more exposure to Bush speeches

By GottaLaff

With all that spare cash we all have lying around, we're always looking for ways to spend it, right? No? Oh. Well, apparently Bush thinks we are:

The Dallas Morning News reports that he’s charging $150,000 per speech and demanding a private jet to take him to the speech venue:

President George W. Bush may have left office with a historically bad 22% approval rating, but he’s still eager to impart his wisdom — for $150,000 a speech.

The former president will charge that hefty fee per pep talk — plus first-class or private jet transport for four — when he hits the lecture circuit next month with stopovers in Canada, the U.S. and other spots around the globe, sources told The News.

::Brakes scre-e-e-eching to an abrupt halt:: A private jet? Like the ones these guys used? Then again, he'd probably be barred from boarding any commercial airline. He might be mistaken for a terrorist.
