In the video below, CNN reports on Republican presidential contender Rudy Giuliani's eye-opening speaking fees.
While charging speaking fees is a regular practice for expert and celebrity speakers, some are criticizing Giuliani for collecting speaking fees from charities. CNN reports on one appearance at a 2005 tsunami fundraiser for which Giuliani received $100,000, and also mentions a contract stipulation that the former New York City mayor be given the use of a "private aircraft -- must be a Gulfstream 4 or bigger."
One political analyst tells CNN, "He's a presidential candiate, everything he's done in the past is gonna come into scrutiny."

Giuliani takes buckets of money to speak at Tsunami fundraiser
And he insists on a huge private jet to get there and back. You gotta love Rudy's concern for those less fortunate than he. And you gotta love RawStory.Com for bringing this to our attention:

Somehow I doubt any speech he would give would be worth even 2 cents worth.
